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.
How can I get out of standby mode to continue or how can I rest the password.
Thank you.
