The password for the GS752TP switch is los
Good day.
Since 2021, the GS752TP switch has been installed - at the moment there is a need to change the configuration, but the password has been safely forgotten by everyone, including the old administrator. Is there a way to reset the password WITHOUT losing configuration and port settings?
Saving the current configuration is mandatory, I really don't want to re-configure more than 40 ports and several VLANs with surveillance cameras.
Thank you in advance.

While the Netgear (fully) Managed Switches - where you initially posted your question (a moderator will move it to the more appropriate community section -> Easy Smart, Plus and Smart Switches) - are coming with a serial and/or USB-based console port have an option for breaking the boot process and set a new password (->
[KB 67268] How do I recover the password using the boot menu on a M4250 series or M4350 series fully managed switch ) there is to my knowledge no boot menu available to make this happen on the Smart Switch models like your GS752TP.

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a way to reset just the password.
I'm guessing you've already the default password - but just in case, it is password.
