If you know the ServiceOS password, that should work. Check here.

For the 'token solution' in the first post in that thread, it may be that TAC can assist if you don't know the ServiceOS password. May be good to contact TAC anyways to get the least intrusive method of recovery.

Hello,

You just have to connect to the console, reboot the switch, at the beginning your are prompted for the boot, select "0" to go to SVOS.

Then type "password", enter your new password. Type boot. Select 1 or 2. That's all.

Looking for SVOS.
