Cisco SGE2000P stack password recovery

[layer3rip]

Hello,

Im trying to recover the password from my stacked switchs(doing procedure on master switch),im following a guide i have read in this forum("SRW248G4 V1.1 unable to reset password"), at console terminal have chosen "password Recovery" it prompts the "current password will be ignored" and then i hit "Escape" the switch start loading de configuration, at this point i attempt to login from telnet or http but the login fails.

Here is the password/username combo im using (admin/blank ; admin/admin).

Is it possible to restore admin password or should i just hardware reset the switchs?

Thanks

Hi Jose, when using the password recovery, it temporarily 'blanks' the password. When prompted for credential you should be able to hit your 'enter' key without typing anything.

Mixing  firmware versions in the stack is not supported.  It looks like you  should be able to upgrade the Linksys branded switches to the later  versions of the firmware.  From the same document, seems like you need  to use the Easy Upgrade Utility.
