I have an XGS-4526 but I forgot the administrator login. The manual says to reset the switch by loading the factory-default configuration through a console cable. Where can I download the factory-default configuration file?

    Nevermind. I found that I had a copy of the firmware XGS-4526_400(BHN.2)C0.zip, extracted the .ROM, then followed the reset procedure and uploaded this .ROM. When it came up, the switch was reset and i was able to get into it using the default login and management IP addresses.

    Good evening,
    May i ask if you still own a copy of the firmware?
    I wanted to setup an old switch and found out it hasnt been reseted yet, but currently i cant find any copy of the file anywhere.

    In regards,
