Disabling password recovery capability

Password recovery capability controls console user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from

BootWare menus.

If password recovery capability is enabled, console users can do the following:

file to configure new passwords.

 If console users forget their console login passwords, they can skip login authentication or the

current configuration file 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
