I've forgotten username & password of SG300-28 28-Port Gigabit Managed Switch. Is there any to recover them? but I don't want to lose configurations.

Hi Anton,

 

You can access boot menu and choose password recovery but this option is only accessible via serial console and after you see Cisco logo hit ESC button once. 

 

Once you choose password recovery current password will be ignored during this current session only so the first thing you need to do is to change and save new password. You can use CLI for this:

switch(config)#username cisco password cisco

switch(config)#exit

switch#wr

and you should be ready to go :-)

Does the switch lose running configurations?

Unfortunately yes as you would have to reboot to get to the boot menu. You can only assume that startup has the same configuration.

Thanks!!

Thanks Aleksandra!
