password recovery for cisco 3548 xl

Greetings all,  I am a student pursuing a CCNA certification currently.  I recently came across a lot of 3548 xl switches.  They power up fine, post with out problem and load flash.  The problem I am running into is that the console is password protected.  I have found the password recovery procedure for this switch, but it requires the use of the mode button.  I have tried this process several times and the flash file is loaded with the startup config file.  How do I perform a password recovery on a switch with a broken mode button?  Thank you in advance

Try letting the switch stand on the front panel so that the entire weight of the switch is resting on the front panel.
