I have a D-Link DES-3550 switch, Firmware: Build 5.00-B28. I want to change admin password, but somehow I am unable to do this:

               DES-3550 Fast Ethernet Switch Command Line Interface

                        Firmware: Build 5.00-B28
      Copyright(C) 2000-2004 D-Link Corporation. All rights reserved.
username:administrator
password:****************************

DES-3550:admin#show account
Command: show account

Current Accounts:
Username         Access Level
---------------  ------------
administrator    Admin

Total Entries : 1

DES-3550:admin#config account administrator
Command: config account administrator

The username does not exist. Enter the name of an existing user.

DES-3550:admin#

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In case anyone else have the same problem, the solution is to reset configuration back to system default.

If you want to totally reset it, reboot it and after the system loading is at 100% press "shift" and "6". It will launch the recovery mode and you can reset the password or the whole configuration by tapping either "reset password" or "reset factory".
