=== "Restart" / "Reset" ===
...nope: reload
=== ENABLE via Telnet or SSH ===
When accessing the switch via ethernet through Telnet or SSH, the enable command will not work unless a password is set.  Oh, unlike the serial connection the switch requres a password when "enabling", and if one isn't set, the ''enable'' command generates an error: Authentication failed.
In the GUI: System, Management Security, Enable Password: set a password (recommend it match the "admin" / root password)
