Getting HTTP access to Cisco 2960 server without username prompt

[Brian AD]

I am setting up switches in an air-gapped lab environment (college-level teaching lab).  I am needing to disable the password authentication for the HTTP server on Cisco 2960 series switches.  The previous instructor has moved on and I do not have access to the configured username/passwords.  Looking for a short-term solution to remove the prompt or to set the username and password to both be blank.  This is working on one switch out of three, but I do not know enough to find all the configurations to compare.  Other suggested solutions are also welcome.  P.S.  Yes, I know this is bad teaching regarding security, but that will be a later part of the class!

In general you see config as below :

username balaji privilege 15 password crackme

ip http secure-server
ip http authentication local
ip http port 80 (if you have like to have different port)

or post show run from all the device working and not working

I recall from a certain ios version, Cisco does not accept web-access without a password anymore ?

This is what I needed.  Thank you!
