Hi Friend,

Make sure before configuring this command you take the backup of your config and also if switch is in vtp transparent mode Cisco recommend that you also save a copy of the vlan.dat file in a location away from the switch.

When the password-recovery mechanism is disabled, interrupting the boot process is allowed only if the user agrees to set the system back to the default configuration.

Also have a look at this link for complete usage guidelines
