Usage guidelines
Password recovery capability controls console user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from BootWare menus.
If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration without authentication to configure new passwords.
If password recovery capability is disabled, console users must restore the factory-default configuration before they can configure new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration deletes the next-startup configuration files.
To enhance system security, disable password recovery capability.
This command is supported only on the default MDC. For more information about MDC, see Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide.
Table 1 summarizes options whose availability depends on the password recovery capability setting.
