If you have to manage HP Switch, it is possible that at some point you find that you can not access it because it does not recognize the username / password (either because someone changes or other reasons).
In this case it is possible to reset the username / password to the switch physically clicking and holding the Clear button with a pointed object for a few seconds. With that reset the username / password to the configured default is admin / no password.
Be careful not to press Reset and Clear at the same time as this resetearía settings to factory.
Logically, and as a safety measure, avoid physical access to switch from unauthorized aprte of early adopters.
This was tested with switches Procurve 25xx series, 26xx and 28XX. For other models should consult the user manual but possibly the same system in many cases.
