Configuring Username and Password Security

Password Recovery

The password recovery feature is enabled by default and provides a method

for regaining management access to the switch (without resetting the switch

to its factory default configuration) in the event that the system administrator

loses the local manager username (if configured) or password. Using Pass-

word Recovery requires:

■ password-recovery enabled (the default) on the switch prior to an attempt

to recover from a lost username/password situation

■ Contacting your HP Customer Care Center to acquire a one-time-use

password

Disabling or Re-Enabling the Password Recovery

Process

Disabling the password recovery process means that the only method for

recovering from a lost manager username (if configured) and password is to

reset the switch to its factory-default configuration, which removes any non-

default configuration settings.
