EDIT 13-Jan-2020 - I found an ideal solution for my issue with the help of the posts below and a lot of searching around the Cisco documentation. In my case, I wanted to get back to the WebUI's "Day 0 configuration" tool to attempt to configure the switch that way rather than through command line. Here's what I did:
What makes this fix work for me is that is clears the stored configuration files in NVRAM and re-installs the IOS software completely. There was even a console message following the emergency-install saying "Checking backup nvram / No config present. Using default config". That was a very satisfying message to see, in my case.
Thanks to the several folks who helped me troubleshoot this. Hopefully future googlers will find the above helpful.
---- original message below ----
Hello,
I have a brand new, fresh out of the box Cisco C9300-48T-E-V02 switch running IOS 16.9.4 software. I have been following the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide to set it up, and was in the process of Chapter 7, "Configuring the Switch Using the Web User Interface".
When I reached the end of the Day 0 configuration wizard, I was met with a message that my session had timed out and I would need to login again. When I attempted to login again, the login credentials (username: webui, password: serial number of switch) were rejected.
Is there any way to "reset" the switch such that I can run the Day 0 configuration wizard again? I have the ability to connect to the switch through the console and have successfully been able to enter CLI commands (note I did not connect to the console until *after* I was locked out of the web interface).
Any guidance would be appreciated, thank you.
