Disabling password recovery capability
Password recovery capability controls console user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from
Boot ROM menus. This feature also determines the method for dealing with console login password loss
(see Figure 52).
If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration without
authentication to configure new passwords.
If password recovery capability is disabled, console users must restore the factory-default configuration
before they can configure new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration deletes the
next-startup configuration files.
To enhance system security, disable password recovery capability.
Figure 52 Dealing with console login password loss
Availability of Boot ROM menu options varies with the password recovery capability setting. For more
