enable switch reset and password

Translator · ‎09-23-2022

Good morning!

I have a Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series switch. I can't get it back. My problem is I don't remember the "enable" password I set. Is there any way to recover this password? Or just reset the switch. If it's just resetting it, like I do. Because I have read the datasheet, I have seen videos on youtube how to reset it, and I can not in any way. It always comes back with the same name (hostname) and always asking to authenticate with the "enable" password.

You not enter rommon mode so you still face same issue

You need to perform a "Password Recovery" procedure. Marce1000 has provided a link. You can also check on Cisco.com or numerous other sites.
