Disabling password recovery capability
Password recovery capability controls console user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from
boot menus.
If password recovery capability is enabled, console users can do the following:
 If console users forget their user privilege level passwords, they can skip user privilege level
switching authentication to configure new passwords..
 If console users forget their console login passwords, they 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.
