Cisco WLC 2106 password recovery

[anilkumar.cisco]

Hello Team,

We are not able to login to this device, any mechanism through which we can take the backup before restarting for password recovery..

Also, Password recovery is possible on this hardware or not?

Kindly advise..

Reboot the WLC and after the bootup, enter the command "password-recovery" and the configuration gets to factory-default.

Thanks Leo..

I am assuming the version 6.0 which is higher then 5.1.. hope password recovery would be possible via the below command
Restore-Password

and without configuration lost...

Kindly advise.

Configuration will be erased once the command "restore-password" is entered.
