Solved: Catalyst 1000 password recovery

jlhoover · ‎01-31-2025

We've inherited a Catalyst 1000 from a previous MSP, and we don't have the login information for it. We also don't have the current configuration, so don't want to do a factory reset. Is there a process to just reset the password on it ? Is it similar to the other Catalysts ? Thanks.

Thanks, not sure how I missed that. We'll give it a shot.
