enable password during login

[Mary]

I have two switches, switch A is TACAS authentication with ACS, if it is failed, then check local authentication, also enabled with telnet, local user id: user1, password user1 and login local

now I use another switch to telnet into this switch A and it asks for enable password, but the person in charge of enable password has left the company, so without enable password, I use reload in 300, but it doesn't work, so how to proceed telent to switch A succefully? thanks

does your console port use local authentication?

if not, you would probably need to do a password recovery. I mean once you hack one switch, it d probably be the enable password for most of them, so pick a switch that you can recycle during prod.
