Rest Admin Password for Catalyst 4507r switch

Ruba
Level 1
Level 1

Dears, 

 

I have Cisco 4507r switch, and i cannot login to admin because admin password is lost. 

I tried to enter the rommon mode as stated in the link below but after step 3 the supervisor module go to standby mode and i was not enable to proceed: 

 

Step 1: Power cycle the device.

Step 2: Press Ctrl-C within 5 seconds to prevent autoboot. 

Step 3: 

Rommon 1 > set

Rommon 1 > confreg

Configuration Summary : 
 => load ROM after netboot fails
 => console baud: 9600
 => autoboot from: commands specified in 'BOOT' environment variable

 do you wish to change the configuration? y/n  [n]:  y
 enable  "diagnostic mode"? y/n  [n]:  n
 enable  "use net in IP bcast address"? y/n  [n]:  n
 disable "load ROM after netboot fails"? y/n  [n]:  n
 enable  "use all zero broadcast"? y/n  [n]:  n
 enable  "break/abort has effect"? y/n  [n]:  n
 enable  "ignore system config info"? y/n  [n]:  y

 change console baud rate? y/n  [n]:  n

 change the boot characteristics? y/n  [n]:  n

 Configuration Summary : 
 => load ROM after netboot fails
 => ignore system config info
 => console baud: 9600
 => autoboot from: commands specified in 'BOOT' environment variable

 do you wish to save this configuration? y/n  [n]:  y
 You must reset or power cycle for new configuration to take effect

Then I reset then I got the standby mode.
