accesing a 2960 switch with no configured password

[vic.mejia]

hello:

I configure a stack of 2960 xr switches with a username and password (using the secret password)

Username XXXXX privilege 15 secret 

but forgot to enter the : enable secret  xxxxx     as part of the configuration

the problem is that I have console port enable to use the secret password for authentication. and so I cannot access the switch

how can I get access to the stack , if it asking for a password , yet I forgot to put in the enable secret password

how do I set the switch to factory default

thanks,
