Chapter 2 Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP Cisco IOS Commands service password-recovery If the user chooses not to reset the system to the default configuration, the normal boot process continues, as if the Mode button had not been pressed. If you choose to reset the system to the default configuration, the configuration file in flash memory is deleted, and the VLAN database file, flash:vlan.dat (if present), is deleted. If the password-recovery mechanism is enabled, this message appears: The system has been interrupted prior to initializing the flash file system. The following commands will initialize the flash file system, and finish loading the operating system software# flash_init load_helper boot Note If you use the no service password-recovery command to control end user access to passwords, we recommend that you save a copy of the config file in a location away from the switch in case the end user uses the password recovery procedure and sets the system back to default values. Do not keep a backup copy of the config file on the switch. If the switch is operating in VTP transparent mode, we recommend that you also save a copy of the vlan.dat file in a location away from the switch. You can verify if password recovery is enabled or disabled by entering the show version privileged EXEC command. Examples This example shows how to disable password recovery on a switch so that a user can only reset a password by agreeing to return to the default configuration.
