asked on Password recovery 2960S
New to environment. Have a 2960S that noone seems to know the enable password to. So I hook console cable up and see password recovery is enabled so i run through the process from the switch: prompt. I type "flash_init" and flash initializes fine, then when i go to type "load_helper" i get an unknown command..heres the output of what's going on:
switch: load_helper
Unknown cmd: load_helper
switch: dir
List of filesystems currently registered:
bs[0]: (read-only)
flash[6]: (read-write)
xmodem[7]: (read-only)
null[8]: (read-write)
switch: dir flash:
unable to stat flash/: no such file or directory
not sure what the problem is, I'm pretty sure that's the right procedure

i did that...it's the load helper that failed..but i think i have it possibly. did it again and it let me parse the flash dir..so i could rename it
Hmmm, that is weird
