Password unknown

Hi all,

I just bought 2950 on ebay and it has an enable password on it i dont know.
I'm sure the proceedure will be the same as that of a router but my problem is where is the break key located on my laptop?
I have a sony viao which is about 5 years old and i dont have the sony software installed so the function keys dont work.
So any idea which keys i hit for the break sequence?
Cheers,

Ed

    Same as usual, but when pressing the break key (one my VAIO the Delete key) hold the Fn button, which should work regardless of any drivers.

    OK,i have the break key working as i tryed on a 2600 i have.My problem still remains on my 2950 though,its doesnt respond to the break.
    Has anyone seen this before?Is this a faulty switch and is there anything else i can do?

    I'm sure I know which link that is, but for those too lazy to click it.. for a 2950 switch, hold down the mode button. After a few, it'll come up with a prompt. Enter the following commands:

    flash_init
    load_helper

    then do dir flash:

    Check for the existance of the following files:

    vlan.dat, config.text, private-config.text, snmpengineid

    delete them by typing delete flash:<filename>

    once the flash is cleared out of unneeded files, type boot

    And lo and behold, your switch has it's virginity restored.
