XSM7224S factory reset

Does anyone know how to factory reset a XSM7224S switch. There is not factory reset button, only a reset button which appears to only reboot the switch. I do not know the admin password nor do I have console cable so am looking to do a physical reset. Thank you.

    Hello yani1shu, 

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    There is no physical factory default button for this model. What you can try is the access it by web (easiest option) and use the default username which is admin and default password is blank (leave the textbox blank).  If you were able to access the Web UI, you can then now reset the device to factory default, click here (see page 486) for instructions. 

     

    Let us know what happens. 

     

    Thanks,
