The configuration file is now reloaded, and you can change the password.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 10 ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.cisco.com\/en\/US\/i\/templates\/blank.gif\")
Enter global configuration mode:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
Switch# configure terminal<\/pre>\n<\/div>\nStep 11 Change the password:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
Switch (config)# enable secret password<\/pre>\n<\/div>\nThe secret password can be from 1 to 25 alphanumeric characters, can start with a number, is case sensitive, and allows spaces but ignores leading spaces.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 12 Return to privileged EXEC mode:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
Switch (config)# exit \r\nSwitch# \r\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
Step 13 Write the running configuration to the startup configuration file:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
Switch# copy running-config startup-config<\/pre>\n<\/div>\nThe new password is now in the startup configuration.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Note This procedure is likely to leave your switch virtual interface in a shutdown state. You can see which interface is in this state by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command. To re-enable the interface, enter the interface vlan vlan-id global configuration command, and specify the VLAN ID of the shutdown interface. With the switch in interface configuration mode, enter the no shutdown command.<\/p>\n

\n\tRecovering from a Lost or Forgotten Password<\/h2>\n
\n\t <\/p>\n
\n\tThe default configuration for the switch allows an end user with physical access to the switch to recover from a lost password by interrupting the boot process during power-on and by entering a new password. These recovery procedures require that you have physical access to the switch.<\/p>\n
