Recovery from a lost password requires direct access to the serial port
and a system reset. NOTE: You can perform this procedure only from the
CLI.

   1. Start a CLI session over the serial interface to the device.
   2. Reboot the device.
   3. At the initial boot prompt at system startup, enter b to enter the
      boot monitor mode.
   4. Enter no password at the prompt. (You cannot abbreviate this
      command.) This command will cause the device to bypass the system
      password check.
   5. Enter boot system flash primary at the prompt.
   6. After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.
