• They tell, you get what you're charging for! The
  quality comes with a price in the case of the
  bestselling Cisco 2960 switch, a reliable
  enterprise-grade Ethernet switch with a lifetime
  warranty. Looking about for a used model is
  important for a consumer.
• You can face a problem while purchasing a used
  switch if the vendor has forgotten to reset his
  password. Fortunately, it's easy to retrieve the
  password on the turn. During the power-on, you
  may interrupt the boot sequence, then assign a
  new password.
•  
• However, if this feature is disabled, only by
  agreeing to lose your old configuration will you
  be able to recover the password in that case,
  the system configuration will be restored to
  factory settings. The recovery method for
  passwords on Cisco 2960 switches can vary based
  on whether the recovery of the password is
  allowed or disabled. View Cisco 2960S Switch

• On the other hand, the password on your Cisco
  2960 switch can be very easily reset to default.
  Be mindful that whilst the reset process is very
  uninvolved, the default returns to its factory
  state all the configurations will be wiped out,
  and not just the old password! This procedure
  works only if you have the device physically
  accessed. Auto setup should be switched off.
• First, by unplugging its cord, power off your
  Cisco 2960 switch. Press and hold the "Mode"
  button while you reconnect the switch to the
  power source. On switches from Cisco 2960 this
  click is on the front of the unit, on the left
  side.
• The LED above the button would shift from amber
  to green after three seconds, and start blinking.
  You should hold the button down until the light
  stops blinking. Lets go of the button.
• Congratulations, your Cisco 2960 key has just
  been activated! Now the password is restored to
  factory defaults. Click Cisco C2960S

• Obviously, this procedure should only be used if
  you don't care about the current configuration,
  because you will lose your configuration during
  the password recovery process! The original
  system is dubbed ".new."
• In those cases, this reset procedure can be handy
  when you need to move a switch from one network
  to another, or when a configuration has become
  too complex, and you'd want a new start.
• For Cisco 2960 switches the default password is
  "cisco" and the username is also "cisco."
• Now that you have retrieved your Cisco 2960
  switch password successfully, don't leave it too
  long as a default. Hackers also know these
  default passwords, and may try to use them to
  access your device and change the settings of
  your network. Change the default password as soon
  as possible, to prevent unauthorized access to
  your network.More info Cisco C2960S datasheet
