I am assuming this is a Catalyst 2970 switch. I just did a recovery in my lab with no issues. Can you email me the boot up sequence of you recovering the password? I want to make sure you are doing it right.

I got in now I have 8 vlans and no configuration on the system I want to learn how to reconfigure the vlan and understand how to configure the ports in auto or 10/100. I also like for it to use my ip on my server so all the systems can communicate throught this. my ip is 192.168.1.1 for my server. I also like to know if the rest of the manual to the switch can help me with that?

Say you want to configure VLAN2,3 and 4

2970(config)#vtp mode transparent

Setting device to VTP TRANSPARENT mode.

2970(config)#vlan 2

2970(config-vlan)#vlan 3

2970(config-vlan)#vlan 4

2970(config-vlan)#exit

Now say you want to assign gig 0/1 to VLAN 2, here is waht you would do

2970(config)#int gigabitEthernet 0/1

2970(config-if)#switchport mode access

2970(config-if)#switchport access vlan 2

Here is how you configure speed/duplex

2970(config)#int gigabitEthernet 0/2

2970(config-if)#spe

2970(config-if)#speed ?

10 Force 10 Mbps operation

100 Force 100 Mbps operation

1000 Force 1000 Mbps operation

auto Enable AUTO speed configuration

2970(config-if)#duplex ?

auto Enable AUTO duplex configuration

full Force full duplex operation

half Force half-duplex operation

You might also want to use the config guideline which will be very useful.
