CONFIG level of the CLI. The level 4 parameter indicates that the enhanced access is for
management privilege level 4 (Port Configuration). All users with Port Configuration privileges will
have the enhanced access. The ip parameter indicates that the enhanced access is for the IP
commands. Users who log in with valid Port Configuration level user names and passwords can
enter commands that begin with “ip” at the global CONFIG level.

Recovering from a lost password
NOTE
You can perform this procedure only from the console.
Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to a system console and a system reset. You
need to configure the system to ignore the saved configuration and to use the system default.
When the system boots up with the default configuration, use username admin and password
brocade to get access to the console. Change the user password, and the super-user password if
necessary, and reload the box after saving the configuration.
To recover from a lost password, follow these steps.
1. Start a CLI session using the console.
2. Reboot the device.
3. At the initial boot prompt at system startup, enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.
4. Enter use default config at the prompt.
