Dealing with password loss
CAUTION:
Dealing with console login password loss and user privilege level password loss from BootWare menus is
disruptive.
How to deal with console login password loss and user privilege level password loss depends on the
state of password recovery capability (see Figure 99 ). You can use the following methods to deal with
password loss:
• Dealing with console login password loss when password recovery capability is enabled
• Dealing with user privilege level password loss when password recovery capability is enabled
• Dealing with password loss when password recovery capability is disabled
If password recovery capability is enabled, dealing with password loss does not delete the next-startup
configuration file.
If password recovery capability is disabled, dealing with password loss deletes the next-startup
configuration file, and the device starts up with the factory-default configuration.
Figure 99 shows the process for dealing with password loss events.
