Cisco switch password recovery

A few weeks back, I need to make some changes on a Cisco Catalyst 3550 series switch. The problem was the switch was not accessible as the access password has been changed by the already-gone-person-in-charge and it was not documented. damn. And the only way to access the switch was through serial cable as all the interfaces was shut down. damn..damn.

A few readings on Cisco site helped me with the mess.
