Description

This document describes how to recover a password on a Cisco cs500 communication server.

The Cisco cs500 does not have a console port so to recover a password you must erase the configuration then configure the server again.

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. Unplug the Cisco cs500 server.


2. Press and hold the DEFAULT button on the front of the chassis.


3. Turn on the server.
   
   The OK and LAN LEDs blink on and off.


4. When the OK and LAN LEDs blink off (after about 15 seconds), release the DEFAULT button.
   
   The 500-CS enters setup mode in about two to ten minutes.


5. Configure the server.
