Reset Password and Retrieve Configuration on Switch 2950 and 3560

[Tang-Suan Tan]

Hi all:

I need help how to recover password and retrive configuration on Cisco switch 2950 and 3560.

I know the way to press and hold the mode button and then plug in the power cord can reset the switch to factory default but it will reset everything to nothing. As such, it is not what I want and I want to keep the configuration file and able to use the configuration on the switch.

Anybody can propose the link or solution, please help as soon as possible. Many thanks!

regards,

tangsuan
