If you get into enable mode (The #), type "erase startup-config", followed by reload. You do not want to save the current configuration if it asks.

Here it is. The password recovery isn't the problem. as far as we can tell we can get into the switch to do anything we need. The problem seems to be that we can't get it out of the current configuration even though we have tried to reset it to factory defaults with various commands and guides. No matter what we do the show run command still shows the old configuration. and as I said before the switch just wont let systems communicate (bc it's misconfigured.)
