Recovering the System Password
You can recover the system enable password if you have lost or forgotten it.
You set the WSS switch password using the set enablepass command. If you forget the password, use one of the
following procedures.
WSS-2350
1 After the switch has fully booted, insert a pin into the factory reset switch to erase the switch’s
configuration.
2 Use a web browser to access IP address 192.168.100.1. This address accesses the Web Quick Start.
3 Use the Web Quick Start to set the administrator usernames and passwords and other parameters. Make
sure you reconfigure the switch’s IP connection.
4 See “First-Time Configuration using the Console” on page 56.
WSS-2370, WSS-2380, or WSS-2360
1 Reboot the switch, and interrupt the WSS switch boot process.
Insert a pin into the restart switch or power the WSS switch off and on again to cause the WSS switch to
reboot. Figure 22 shows the location of the restart switch on an WSS-2370 switch. The restart switch on
an WSS-2360 or WSS-2380 switch is also located next to its serial console port.

2 When you see descending numbers on the console, press any key.
3 Type the following command at the boot> prompt:
boot> boot OPT+=default
If you do not type the command before the reset cycle is complete, the WSS switch returns to the state it was in before
you restarted it.
Caution! Recovering the system password will delete your configuration files.
