Hello

I have a question with our switch main catalyst 4507. a couple of months I had this experience that I can't access my password in my catalyst 4507. i have a password management document. After trying my password assigned for many times that he has been unsuccessful. When I tried using the other reference cisco password, I was able to connect using the password "cisco". for security reasons change us password from time to time, but by regular coins. Just this day, yet once I can't access my password for this device only I also try password by default but not able to connect. My question is, how did this happen? How can I access the configuration of my catalyst 4507 without interruption of service of causes in my network connection. don't forget it's my coreswitch and we are 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Help, please! forward the responses received.

Thank you and best regards.

Pete

Hi Pete,.

I fear that you will not be able to recover the password without using the ROMmon mode, for which you will need to power cycle the unit which in turn causes a network failure. You will need to make arrangements for a window of maintainace and recover the password.

I mentioned below the link that gives you the procedure step by step for password recovery:

Kind regards
