POWER CONNECT 6220 : cannot use the "enable" command to acces the privilege EXEC user

Here is the procedure to recover an enable password.

 

Password Recovery Procedure

 

Use option 12 when a password is lost. This allows the switch to boot one time without prompting for a console password. Note that the enable password is not prompted for in this mode.

 To recover a lost password for the local terminal only:

 

1. From the Boot menu, select 12 and press .

The password is deleted.

2. The boot process resumes.

3. To ensure switch security, reconfigure passwords for applicable management methods.

 

Then once you are in you will want to either change the password or set for no password with this command.

 

enable password

 Use the enable password command in Global Configuration mode to set a

local password to control access to the privileged EXEC mode. To remove the

password requirement, use the no form of this command.
