-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 could you please go into more detail on this- i thought the service password-recovery command only used on the cisco switches and was still overrideable.
<.from cisco site> The default configuration for Catalyst 3550 switches allows an end user with physical access to the switch to recover from a lost password by interrupting the boot process while the switch is powering up and then by entering a new password. The password recovery disable feature for Catalyst 3550 Fast Ethernet switches allows the system administrator to protect access to the switch password by disabling part of this functionality and allowing the user to interrupt the boot process only by agreeing to set the system back to the default configuration. With password recovery disabled, you can still interrupt the boot process and change the password, but the configuration file (config.text) and the VLAN database file (vlan.dat) are deleted. <./from cisco site> thanks. - -----Original Message----- From: d'Ambly, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 1:10 PM To: 'Dave Cooper'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Cisco Password Recovery the command would be [no] service password-recovery -----Original Message----- From: Dave Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 1:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Cisco Password Recovery I have actually made metal plates and screwed them over the CON port with security screws....
