Hi - below is the password recovery procedure for the SRW switches. Please verify this is exactly what you are doing.
1.) Establish serial communication with the switch, reboot the switch by disconnecting and then reconnecting it's power cable. 2.) The switch will begin it's POST procedure as displayed in the serial terminal emulator. Be ready at the keyboard to press the Esc key. 3.) Watch for the following line to appear during the boot sequence. When you see it, immediately press the Esc key; "Autoboot in 2 seconds - press RETURN or Esc. to abort and enter prom." IMPORTANT: Do not hold down the Esc or Enter/Return key during the boot sequence. Only press the Esc key when prompted. 4.) If you successfully interrupted the boot sequence, you will be prompted with a Startup Menu. Option number 3 will be the "Password Recovery Procedure". Select this option. 5.) The terminal will display, "Current password will be ignored!". Press enter to continue with the boot sequence. 6.) The default account "admin/<blank>" will be enabled and you can log into the switch using this account. From here, you can set new accounts without having lost the switch configuration. 7.) After you have configured new accounts and documented the passwords, reboot the switch and log in normally to confirm that passwords have been recovered successfully.
