Hi,
Try this:-
Connect you terminal/emulator to console port
Power off the switch by removing power cord.
Hold the mode switch and repower
Release the mode button a second or 2 after the LED above port 1 goes off
On your screen
the interuption message should appear and give yo a prompt
switch:
type
flash_init
load helper
dir flash:
you should see the file called config.text
rename flash:config.text flash:config.text.old
boot
You are prompted to start the setup program. Enter N at the prompt:
Continue with the configuration dialog? [yes/no]: N
At the switch prompt, enter privileged EXEC mode:
Switch> enable
switch#
Over to you like a new swich out of the box
Or if you want to use the previous config and just change the pword/secret etc
Switch# rename flash:config.text.old flash:config.text
Copy the configuration file into memory:
Switch# copy flash:config.text system:running-config
Source filename [config.text]?
Destination filename [running-config]?
Press Return in response to the confirmation prompts.
The configuration file is now reloaded, and you can change the password.
Enter global configuration mode:
Switch# configure terminal
Change the password:
Switch (config)# enable secret "your-p-word"
Return to privileged EXEC mode:
Switch (config)# exit
Switch# wr mem

Alex.
