Configuring Username and Password Security Front-Panel Security Re-Enabling the Clear Button and Setting or Changing the "Reset-On-Clear" Operation Syntax: [no] front-panel-security password-clear reset-on-clear This command does both of the following: • Re-enables the password-clearing function of the Clear button on the switch's front panel. • Specifies whether the switch reboots if the Clear button is pressed. To re-enable password-clear, you must also specify whether to enable or disable the reset-on-clear option. Defaults: - password-clear: Enabled. - reset-on-clear: Disabled. Thus: • To enable password-clear with reset-on-clear disabled, use this syntax: no front-panel-security password-clear reset-on-clear • To enable password-clear with reset-on-clear also enabled, use this syntax: front-panel-security password-clear reset-on-clear (Either form of the command enables password-clear.) Note: If you disable password-clear and also disable the password-recovery option, you can still recover from a lost password by using the Reset+Clear button combination at reboot as described on page 2-25. Although the Clear button does not erase passwords when disabled, you can still use it with the Reset button (Reset+Clear) to restore the switch to its factory default configuration. You can then get access to the switch to set a new password. For example, suppose that password-clear is disabled and you want to restore it to its default configuration (enabled, with reset-on-clear disabled). 2-30
