Ok, I was able to do a show cdp nei, learn the ip address, low and behold I
was able to telnet in with no password.

I happily typed out 'clear config all' and reset power to the switch.

Now the console port still isn't working... and I can't telnet in, what a
bummer...

I did however do a show before I blew away the config, not sure if this will
help or not:

Thanks in advance!

Enter password:
Console> (enable) sh config
This command shows non-default configurations only.
Use 'show config all' to show both default and non-default configurations.
