Dear All,
Good day,
I have cisco Nexus 7000 series switches with VPC configured. I have 3 VDC configured in each nexus switch and the password for 2 VDC in 1 switch and 3 VDC in another switch includes admin VDC password not working. I have to reset the password for both switches. Kindly advise how I can do it. Should I need to ask for downtime to the company?
Kindly advise and please put the steps that I need to follow because I am going to do in production environment.
Thanks and Regards,
Kabeer

Hi All,
I got the downtime from the company, So I need to recover the password for all VDC.
I prepare my own document, could you please verify it
Steps to follow to reset the password for Nexus Switch
In the below steps, I am not able to understand why we need to do step 8 ?
and after I reset Admin VDC password how can i switch to other VDC to recover the password?
Here if it shows loader we need to enter below command
Loader> boot kickstart.x.x.x.x.bin
And then it will enter boot mode
switch(boot)# configure terminal
switch(boot-config)# admin-password <new password>
WARNING! Remote Authentication for login through console has been
disabled
switch(boot-config)# exit
switch(boot)#
5.then look at the directory file dir bootflash:
In the following example, the system image filename is nx-os.bin:
switch(boot) # load bootflash:nx-os.bin
switch login: adminPassword: <new password>
switch# configure terminalswitch(config)# username admin password <new password>switch(config)# exit9. and then save the configuration switch# copy running-config startup-config
