Chapter 2 Catalyst 3750 Metro Switch Cisco IOS Commands

If you use the no service password-recovery command to control end user access to passwords, we

recommend that you save a copy of the config file in a location away from the switch in case the end user

uses the password recovery procedure and sets the system to default values. Do not keep a backup copy

of the config file on the switch.

If the switch is operating in VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) transparent mode, we recommend that you

also save a copy of the vlan.dat file in a location away from the switch.

You can verify if password recovery is enabled or disabled by entering the show version privileged

EXEC command.

This example shows how to disable password recovery on a switch so that a user can only reset a

password by agreeing to return to the default configuration:

Switch(config)# no service-password recovery

Switch(config)# exit
