HOw do you reassign an ip address to a catalyst 2900 switch? Also is there a way to get around a password a previous administrator assigned to that switch to reassign the ip or do I need to get that info. before I can go any further.

please help

I'm assuming you have a 2900XL. In any case, for password recovery, read this:

Once you've taken care of that, to re-address the switch, go to the management vlan (1) or create a vlan of your choice and assign it an address. Make sure to remove the IP address that was previously assigned to it. Not sure how to do this? See below:

conf t
int vlan 1
ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shut
^z
wr mem

Hope this helps.
