Configuring Username and Password Security
Front-Panel Security
Figure 2-22. Example of Disabling the Factory Reset Option
Disables or re-enables the following functions associated with
using the Reset+Clear buttons in the combination described
under “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration” on page
2-36:
• Replacing the current startup-config file with the factory-
default startup-config file
• Clearing any local usernames and passwords configured on
the switch
(Default: Both functions enabled.)
For redundant management systems, this command only
affects the active management module.
Notes: The Reset+Clear button combination always reboots
the switch, regardless of whether the “no” form of the
command has been used to disable the above two functions.
Also, if you disable factory-reset, you cannot disable the
password-recovery option, and the reverse.
HP Switch(config)# no front—panel—security factory—reset
