Hi cajenz2000, I'm so sorry to hear that you have forgotten the login name and password for the PowerConnect M6348.

To reset the login name and password:-

The system is delivered with no default password configured; all passwords are user-defined. If a user-defined password is lost, a password recovery procedure can be invoked from the Boot menu.
The procedure is applicable for the local terminal only and allows a one-time access to the switch from the local terminal with no password entered.

You may refer to the documention for more info.

For the 3024/3048/5012 products:

1. Connect to the switch via the console port and manually reboot the switch
2. As soon as power is applied, press and hold the ESC key
3. At the command prompt, type "EmergencyPasswordReset" (case-sensitive without the quotation marks)
4. At the confirm (Y/N) prompt, type X
5. If done properly, you will receive a message stating that the password has been disabled
6. Type G and hit enter to reboot the switch

The switch will reboot with the password disabled.
