I had forgotten the password of my Adtran NetVanta 1224R Switch. Can anyone post any suggestions for how to recover the password or is there any way that i could connect to the switch. Any suggestions would be greatful, thanks in advance
Bootstrap# bypass passwords
Bootstrap# boot
Notice that you are issuing the boot command not the reload command following the bypass passwords command. Once the unit has finished booting up, you can issue the enable command and you will not be required to enter the privileged (i.e. enable) password. Once you are in privileged mode, you can view the configured passwords by using the show run command. A new password can also be entered by going into global configuration mode by using config terminal command and issuing the enable password <word> command where <word> is the new password. Also remember to change any Telnet, SSH or Web GUI passwords if necessary.
Below is a sample output of these steps:
