i have a cisco 2811 series router and using for internet router and is working fine.i disabled its password recovery process from router cli like
NO PASSWORD RECOVERY Process Enable now i forgot its username and password and need to recover its password.
Recently I have bought a 2821 router from an auction. The router did have some configuration and password on it. I tried to break into it by restating it and pressing control and pause break signal. Old cisco method. Now when I try this method on my 2821. It does say that password recovery is disabled on the router. After this message router proceed with normal boot process. How to break the password ? Even if I loose the configuration.

im trying to access rommon in a Cisco 851, with not much success, i am sending a break after the image is loaded ( in the time frame that is allowed for that) .
I have a major problem with our core 2801 router. In summary it appears that a staff member disabled password recovery, deleted the IOS and rebooted. Net result is no Rommon and no IOS on the flash. I've read that the Conf-Reg will be reset if I remove the NVRAM but I cannot identify it on the board. If I can get to Rommon I can recover. Currently I don't have Flash reader to restore to flash.

We have a cisco 2801 router in class which has a disabled password recovery. We tried almost everything, we cannot get into ROMmon and the break sequence doesn't work in any program (hyper terminal, putty, teraterm pro).

i just wanna know if it's possible to perform a router password recovery using the reload command and then issue the break sequence instead of doing an off/on on the power switch. i often find in the docs to use the latter.also, is there a way to retain the startup-config on a router when we re-enable the password recovery functionality (no service password-recovery). i've just tried this on one of our 877 and when i hit the break sequence, it went back to factory default setting.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to break into a 2901 router to recover the passwords. Cisco's methodology for password recovery on 2900 seriews routerssays to remove the compact flash card and reboot into RMON. There is no external compact flash card on a 2901. Is there acompact flash card inside the box? Or can you use the older method of rebooting and then hitting ctl+break to boot into RMON?

The problem I am running into is that the console is password protected. I have found the password recovery procedure for this switch, but it requires the use of the mode button. I have tried this process several times and the flash file is loaded with the startup config file. How do I perform a password recovery on a switch with a broken mode button?

View 1 Replies View RelatedTo configure my Cisco, I use the console cable but as I have no serial port on my PC, I use a USB to serial cable which I plug the console. I had lost this USB cable -> serial but I found another one. So I started to configure my Cisco by copying from an existing config. I found out that a prior the converter is defective and copy the wrong config.
I had copied the enable secret password and it badly copied! No luck, I made a copy run start. Therefore more accessible to Cisco! When I start the Cisco, I see what activated "the Mechanism password-recovery is enabled". so I followed the procedure Cisco

I have a couple of 877s which have "no service password recovery" set and something has happened to the flash or the IOS has been lost for one reason or another.
When trying to boot the routers, they all display similar to this, which then repeats:
[code]....
Or words to the effect of there being no IOS at all, unable to boot, but the result is the same, it just loops and there's nothing I can do to break the sequence!
I've tried taking the flash from a working 877 and replacing the card but this doesn't work and unfortunately, putting the once working strataflash card back in the working 877, it gets the same problem!
I have a cisco 515e pix but where I bought it from did not get the machine back to default. I boot it up and get to the user prompt, type enable and it asks for a username and then a password. I am new to this and am have no problems with router and switch password recoverys but when I look at the cisco documentation it is a bit overwhelming and I am not quite sure what it is that they want me to do to fix this. I have downloaded all the password recovery software loads and have the one I need for 6.x which is what the box is running I am just not sure what it is that I need to do. Can I use that recovery software from directly from my pc using a tftp server?

Step 1 Connect a terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software to the switch console port.
Step 2 Set the line speed on the emulation software to 9600 baud.
Step 3 Power off the switch. Reconnect the power cord to the switch and, within 15 seconds, press the Mode button while the System LED is still flashing green.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was just configured a 3800 router with this command. I cannot get to the ROMMON mode anymore. Cisco says you should press Break key within 5 seconds after the image decompresses during the boot. But mine is ignoring it and going to load running config directly.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a 4404 running firmware 7.0 and something happened (don't think it was a hack), but all of a sudden I can't login to the box via web or ssh or even telnet.
In trying the recovery procedure, I get a lot of messages scrolling through and cannot do the Restore-Password command on the CLI.
I'm attaching the whole capture, but here's a truncated capture from the procedure:
*fp_main_task: Nov 21 10:39:46.501: sshpmGetCID: comparing to row 0, CA cert >bsnOldDefaultCaCert<
*fp_main_task: Nov 21 10:39:46.501: sshpmGetCID: comparing to row 1, CA cert >bsnDefaultRootCaCert<
[Code].....
So as you can see, my prompt to enter the command is taken up by this fp_main message and it uses up the first and only time I can enter this in. I'm trying everything I can to not have to go back to factory defaults.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI wanted to do with my Cisco 2800, a password recovery. I have read the instructions and Cisco just came up at six.
Complete these steps in order to recover your password:
Shut down the router. Remove the compact flash that is at the back of the router. Power on the router. Once the Rommon1> prompt appears, enter this command:
confreg 0x2142Insert the compact flash. Type reset.
BUT I had forgotten to plug the flash card. And now comes via console hieroglyphics only
I have 3 x ASA 5510 & 2 x ASA 5520, that require resetting back to factory default, the customer has removed the External Flash Cards, and i've checked internally on each unit the Internal Flash car is still present, is it possible to run a password recovery then a factory reset? and how would i go about resetting each unit to the new configuration.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI am studying for the CCNA and have my own lab. Several months ago I setup the lab and hand things running well, and decided to put it all away for a while. Alas, now that I have brought it all out again, I don't remember the passwords I used and have since destroyed my documentation, so this is perfect practice at password recovery/config maintenance type of stuff.
I am working on a 2610XM. When I power on the router, I see all the information pasted below. I have tried the password recovery processes described in the cisco knowledge base where we use the rommon prompt to load 0x2142, reset, then enable secret <password> and followed the remainder of the instructions, but when I reload the router after the process, the new password I've set still does not work.
Some things that are not consistent from the documentation that I am seeing are the messages Slot is empty and WIC is empty.
I am wondering if my router does not use 0x2102 for it's load, but it will not show what it is using and I can't run show version because of the password. I am connecting through the console port and using putty to access and configure. Below is a paste of the startup messages after the router decompresses it's image.

View 34 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do password recovery on a Catalyst 3850 switch..I've read the section in this: url...where it says that I need to have physical access to the switch (I do), and that I reset the password if I issue a break command and interrupt the boot procedure. I've tried to do that... it gives me the "switch:" prompt, so I think I've interrupted the boot procedure successfully, but, what do I do next?I've successfully done recoveries on Catalyst 2950s, 3550s & 3560s, but the procedure for this one, if I'm reading the link above right, sounds like it's completely different.
