Caution: Recovering the system will delete your configuration file.
Note: If you do not type the command before the reset cycle is complete, the RoamAbout Switch
returns to the state it was in before you restarted it.
Caution: Use an enable password that you will remember. If you lose the password, the only way to
restore it causes the system to return to its default settings and wipes out the configuration.
