Hi,
Switch details as follows:
Model: FortiSwitch-108E-POE
Firmware version: v7.0.3,build0058
Stand alone mode.
We have a situation where an admin changed the password and has since left and is not contactable.
I have tried pressing <space> during boot (no login prompt came up for me to use the maintainer account as with the Fortigates) and get presented with this menu:
[G]: Get firmware image from TFTP server.
[F]: Format boot device.
[I]: Configuration and Information.
[U]: Upgrade BIOS image.
[R]: Reboot FortiSwitch.
[Q]: Quit menu and continue to boot.
[H]: Display this list of options.
If I press [I] I get this menu
[S]: Set serial port baudrate.
[C]: Set DHCP Enabled.
[E]: Set restricted mode.
[T]: Set menu timeout.
[P]: Ping an IP address.
[R]: Reset environment to default.
[U]: Upgrade component firmware.
[I]: Display hardware information.
[B]: Display boot information.
[Q]: Quit this menu.
[H]: Display this list of options
Is there a way to change the admin password?
thanks

Hi @MeHere
Currently, there is no option to reset the admin password of Fortiswitch.
Use [R]: Reset environment to default from the menu during bootup, this will reset the password along with the config.
Hello MeHere,

Let us know if this helps.

This does not help, as I stated this is a stand alone system. The instructions you have provided are for a system managed by a fortigate.

Thanks @manasac, I have a backup so can make it work as the setup is not that complicated.
