<p>I recently purchased a used Cisco 3560-E switch. It seems to be working, but I can't login. I can get a prompt using SSH to the 10/100TX port (obviously DHCP is working), and I can also get a login page using HTTP, but it looks like someone has changed the user name and/or password, because I have tried every combination of admin, cisco, Cisco / cisco, Cisco, and none work. Unless there is some other way to get in (telnet is disabled), my understanding is the switch will need to be restored to its default configuration, and I am further given to understand I need to have serial access for that. I don't have a serial cable. Is there some way to force a factory default config without serial access? Is there some other default UID/Password configuiration out there? Any other ideas?
