Hi,
does anyone know if there's a way for password recovery on 3560X without pressing "mode button"?
A way, for example, to reach ROMMON with some escape sequence as in routers?
I have SWITCHES with CISCO 3560X boards embedded and they don't have the "mode button" taken out.
So, it's a problem if there's no other way of restoring it.
Thank you

Do you have access to the switch ?
Do you have the running config of the switch ?
If you have, you can run the recovery procedure.

Thank you for your answers.
I'm not fortunately now in the situation I described but i have to solve this problem (hopefully)
I have custom switches that have CISCO 3560X boards inside, let me say. So theese switches don't have the "mode button" taken out of the box.
Let's imagine that I forget the privileged password and console password.
What shall I do before opening the case of the switch and reach the "mode button" inside?
Leolaohoo, how can I implement the procedure you described if I can't log in the switch?
Is there a way to reach the flash during boot through serial console connection?
Thanks again

Someone physically removed the mode buttons ??? You have 2 options that I know , one is normal password recovery via mode button or the password recovery function disabled and those instructions which I believe involves setting the config back to factory defaults , hopefully you have them all backed up . Don't believe there is any other way.

Without the username/password you can't do what I recommend.
Without the mode button ... can't you get a stick and push the inside? Forget it. I believe you're in a bind.
