Reset password serial port

I am assuming you will still need console connection to do a password recovery.. however, here is the link to one password recovery doc that may help.

This is a switch not a router.

You can find your answer here to reset the settings via a serial port.

rescue Password reset on SMC TigerSwitch 8624T

The default password is blank (i.e., leave the password field blank).

Looks to me like they never implemented the serial port. The used unit I just obtained has no signal on the serial console pins and no SMC documentation beyond plugging it in appears to exist. Likewise with TELNET access.

However you can reset the switch to factory defaults with the following procedure from a pop-up window off the login page. It worked for me.

----------

If you have forgotten the administration password you can return the Switch to its factory default state by doing the following:

1) Remove the power cord from the back of the Switch.
2) Remove all cables from the front-panel ports.
3) Connect port 1 to port 2, on the front panel, using a standard network cable.
4) Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the Switch.
5) Wait at least 40 seconds before disconnecting port 1 from port 2.

After completing this procedure, the password will be 'smcadmin' and the network address will be returned to the default; 192.168.2.10/24.

Try with username: admin

password: admin

Wow. If your system is missing programming, the messages can get dropped into the General Delivery Mailbox (998). There are 2 passwords that are an absolute (well 3) nust to have, one for 998, 999 and the serial port master password. One will let you reset the other two, but the installer password on the serial port is not easily reset.

You forget the password for the "admin" user account and can no longer perform important management operations. Use the password recovery method outlined below to define a new password for the "admin" user account:

1. Access the Command Line Interface from the console port and enter the user name "recover" and password "recover" to place the Switch in password recovery mode. The Switch remains in password recovery mode for a maximum of 30 seconds, before it returns to the CLI login prompt.
   
   You must use the console port to recover the passsword. If you attempt the recovery method using the network, the password will be rejected.
   
   
2. Perform a hard reset on the Switch whilst it is in password recovery mode by switching it off, waiting a few seconds, and switching it on again.
   
   You cannot use a soft reset operation to reset the password of the "admin" user account. This will end the password recovery procedure and return you to the CLI login prompt.
   
   
3. When the Switch has rebooted following the hard reset enter a new password for the "admin" user account.
