On an AT 9924 switch, the password recovery with the s key works when security mode is not enabled. When security mode has been set with command ENAble SYStem SECurity the s key is ignored. I understand there is a way to clear all flash memory files when security mode is set. It provides a method to revert to factory default. Unfortunately I have not found out how to do it. Pressing Ctrl+D during boot up gives a diagnostic menu but the menu entries there do not include a way to clear flash memory.
You can try to read compact flash directly. It is a IDE interface.
