Trying ot reset Catalyst 2940 after losing password.
I pressed the "mode" button upon power-on to start the resetting.
After that, I tried commands like flash_init and boot, etc.
But the old config is still there.
How do I start fresh?
Thanks.

Have you followed the guide?
Once you are in ROMMON, you have to initialise the flash and rename the config file so the switch boots without a config. You can then either change the password or start again.

Yes I've referred to Cisco manuals but following it is difficult. haha..
Rename using "rename?" of the start config?
Thanks!

I don't understand, if you simply follow the step by step in the article above it should work?

Yea, I'll try again when I get home.
Again, thanks for the link.
UPDATE: Turns out the way I did was already working. haha. Thank you all!
