Enable password recovery always require a console connection and a power cycle (or reset).<br />
<br />
On a CatOS switch, the defined user mode and privileged mode passwords are disabled during the first 30 seconds of operation. <br />
<br />
Get a console session up and power cycle the switch. Then wait until it starts to respond to your input. Once it does, you've got about 30 seconds to get into privileged mode and reset the user and/or privileged mode passwords.<br />
<br />
Don't forget that CatOS switches have default passwords that requires you to press &lt;enter&gt; when prompted for a password.<br />

I have a CATOS switch, 4500 series. The vty password and snmp RW community ara available <br />
Is any tool available to recover the enable password through snmp?<br />
<br />
It is a CATOS switch, not an IOS. Hence, ciscosnmptool is not working as it support only IOS v12 or newer.<br />
<br />
Differenctly is possible to recover the config, and then recover the passsword through normal recovery procedure?<br />
<br />
Regards

Recovering CATOS switch password using snmp

System Utilities are a type of system software used to support the computer infrastructure, distinguishing it from application software which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Commonly used utilities include password managers, disk managers, system monitors, data synchronization tools, security and antivirus software and editors.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
