Note: If the admin user account is locked out (typically because someone entered the wrong

password multiple times), resetting the admin password with the password reset button will not

unlock the admin user account. In order to unlock the admin user account, you can wait for the

configured lockout time to expire or you can power cycle the switch to reboot it.
