Hit the spacebar when you you see it.
1.“Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf” then
- Press the Spacebar (if you wait for the prompt- it may be too late)
- loader> boot –s (to access single user mode)
2.Enter recovery when prompted to go into recovery mode
/bin/sh: recovery
3.Enter “edit” >Set root password
set system root-authentication plain-text-password
4.Commit the change and exit configuration mode—reboot
Okay. How do I determine which switch is the master?
