Have 4 of these switches (2 in each bldg& stacked via HDMI) connected by fiber. I had a 8 char PW set on the switch and decided to change it today so our security consultant could access it. Right after I changed the PW and logged off, I tried to log back on but it tells me
Access was denied due to one of the following reasons: 1) There are too many users logged in. 2) The specified user name and/or password is incorrect.
I’m 99.9% sure that I entered the new password correctly (as it let me change it and made me enter it twice to confirm)and clicked on apply.
So how is it that I cannot login now? I also looked at the unit and much to my dismay there is NO serial port with which to connect a console session to. This presents a huge problem. :eek: Any magic login other than a reset? I cannot afford to lose my current cfg. (which I did not see a way to back up) and really do not want to reset to factory defaults. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Wow...over 6 months and not ONE reply? Really? :confused:
Apparently NetGear doesn't own any magic bullets for their own hardware? Yikes. I did check out the Cisco Type 7 password recovery tools from SOlarWinds, but those require you to paste from a known exported cfg file and it then decrypts the password. That is not an option here to my knowledge.
