Cisco 3750 password recovery quick tip
July 22nd, 2009
CISCO 3750
This password recovery method also applies to at least the:
Cisco 2950, Cisco 2960, Cico 3550, Cisco 3560 and Cisco 3750 series.
The only difference will be for how long you will hold the mode button,
from my experience just try to hold it longer if it doesn’t work.
(It should be around 15 seconds for the 3750.)
