how to reset the password on a Cisco 9124 switch

Yeah, that would reset it back to factory defaults and I would lose all my zones and zonesets. I could set up a TFTP server on my laptop to save the config and then save it back after the reset but I finally found the manual (I don't think they want you to find it) which tells you how to do it through the CLI. Thanks for your effort David.
 
Using the CLI with Network-Admin Privileges
If you are logged in to, or can log into, switch with a user name that has network-admin privileges and then recover the administrator password, follow these steps:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1 Use the show user-accounts command to verify that your user name has network-admin privileges.
switch# show user-account
user:admin
this user account has no expiry date
roles:network-admin
user:dbgusr
this user account has no expiry date
roles:network-admin network-operator
Step 2 If your user name has network-admin privileges, issue the username command to assign a new administrator password.
switch# config t
switch(config)# username admin password <new password>
switch(config)# exit
switch#
Step 3 Save the software configuration.
switch# copy running-config startup-config
