The link above is fine for the LS1010 but not the LS100.
Here is how the password should be recovered on that platform:
This is the mostly likely way to do it.
The default password on all new LS100s is "c"
From any mode of console, non-priv works fine-
1. Enter manager mode just > manager
2. You will be prompted for password
(type this as password, do a cut and paste from this mail!)

3. Depending on software version, you will get a "new" prompt, like %
4. just say "flush_passwd" (again this depends on Version)
If the above does not work then try this one below...
How to "FIX" a Lost ENABLE Password on an A100 Hyperswitch
From "factory diagnostic" mode you can erase a previously stored password, leaving a Null string, which will prompt you for a new password when entering the priv mode using the enable command:
A100-2#password
Input Old Password: ***Mismatch - password unchanged. (since you don't know the password, this will fail)
A100-2#f
Saving password now
A100-2#exit to return to non-priv mode
A100-2>enable
Input New Password: < Enter your "new" password
Retype New Password:
Saving password now
A100-2#exit
A100-2>en
Input Password:
A100-2#
