Password Recovery Procedure

for the Cisco Catalyst 1700, 1900, 2100, 2800, and 2820

Description

This document describes the password recovery procedure for the following Cisco products:

• Cisco Catalyst 1700
• Cisco Catalyst 1900
• Cisco Catalyst 2100
• Cisco Catalyst 2800
• Cisco Catalyst 2820

Step-by-Step Procedure

Check the boot firmware version number from the Systems Engineering menu.

Firmware Version 1.10 and Later

Clearing the Password

1. Power-cycle the switch.

   After POST completes, the following prompt displays:

   Do you wish to clear the passwords? [Y]es or [N]o:

   Note: You have ten seconds to respond. If you don't respond within that time, the Management Console Logon screen displays. You cannot change this waiting period.

2. Enter [Y]es to delete the existing password from nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).

   Note: If you type [N]o, the existing password remains valid.

3. Assign a password from the switch management interfaces (management console or command line interface (CLI)).

Viewing the Password

For firmware versions between 1.10 and 3.02, you can view the password you are trying to recover (instead of clearing it as described in the previous section).

1. Access the diagnostic console.
   1. Press and hold the Mode button.
   2. Power-cycle the switch.
   3. Release the Mode button one or two seconds after the LED above port 1x goes off.

      You will see the following logon screen:
