手順

This article discusses the process to gain access to the switch when the Username Password is lost or forgotten on Dell Networking N Series Switch.
 


Overview

This is a process to regain access to a switch when all other means of recovering a username/password have been exhausted.  You will need physical access to the switch console port in order to complete the process.  You will need a PC with a serial port or a USB to serial adaptor and the serial to RJ45 cable that comes with the switch.

Steps to enter Switch without Password   

 

Follow these steps to use the Boot Menu to enter the switch without a known password:

  1. Connect a PC to the switch console port physically using a software emulation tool serial connection (Putty HOW12045_en_US__2iC_External_Link_BD_v1 is a widely used freeware version)
  2. Manually reboot your switch with a software reload or by pulling the power.
Be aware that if previous configuration changes were made and not saved to the start-config file, then this reboot would not have that unsaved configuration.
  1. While the switch is booting up keep an eye on the boot up screen. 
  2. When you see the Dell Networking Boot Options, type "2" and press "Enter" to select within 3 seconds.  If you miss this step the switch will need to be powered on again.

  2. Once the switch has completed booting you will need to create a new username / password and save the configuration.
