NX-OS AAA issue

[supercell29]

Hello,

   I was in the process of creating a AAA setup on my NX-0S (MDS9148), logged out/attempted to login to test AAA login and now I can no longer login as admin either! I didn't change the local account. I have the Cisco Device Manager open still (in the fabric switch) and was wondering if anyone had any idea how I remedy this (AAA is not up and running as of yet with this switch).

Thank you in advance,

If I remember correctly, NX-OS should fall back to local account automatically if AAA is not available. So after you enable AAA on NX-OS, you could not login with local account? I did not use Device manager but you might try to disable aaa there and then try it again. By the way, the link below provides the password recovery procedure.

Yeah, that was it. Your link does not exist. :~)
