Cisco 871W Switch

[dvinem671]

I recently got a Cisco Switch 871W - I finally got it configured to my imac, but when I go into it to reset the admin password within the GUI it doesn't reset, and when I go into the terminal - I am not seeing it as it boots up. Does anyone have any idea how to get it reset - I have reset it using the reset button numerous times and have researched it- and have done the suggestions, but it just won't reset. THANKS! Trying not to allow this set back to deter me from getting the CCNA...

Have you got a serial console cable that you can plug into the console port?  That is the most reliable solution.

Hi Philip,
