Hi

what does it prompt you for if not a passwprd or does it just let you in ?

is there any other security config on it already like AAA

Hi Mark,

It just let me into the switch.  The only config is telnet, enable and secret passwords.

 Thanks

Hi Mark/Dol

The switch is a cisco c2960G but I think I've sorted it now.  It looks like the switch need a reboot before the console password will take effect.

Thanks for all the help anyway.
