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.
Availability of BootWare menu options depends on the password recovery capability setting. For more information, see the release notes.
