The above procedure configures your switch with a Manager password, IP
address, and subnet mask. As a result, with the proper network connections,
you can now manage the switch from a PC equipped with Telnet, a web
browser interface, or from an SNMP-based network management station
using a tool such as ProCurve Manager.
Some basic information on managing your switch is included in the next
section. For more information on the console, web browser, and SNMP
management interfaces and all the features that can be configured on the
switch, see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the
ProCurve Web site at www.procurve.com/manuals.
To Recover from a Lost Manager Password
If you cannot start a console session at the manager level because of a lost
Manager password, you can clear all passwords and user names by getting
physical access to the switch and pressing and holding the Clear button for a
full second.
