Replacing or Recovering a Lost Password Chapter 5 Maintaining the Cisco 7206 Step 11 Scan the configuration file display looking for the passwords (the enable passwords are usually near the beginning of the file, and the console login or user EXEC password is near the end). The passwords displayed will look something like this: enable secret 5 $1$ORPP$s9syZt4uKn3SnpuLDrhuei enable password 23skiddoo . . line con 0 password onramp The enable secret password is encrypted and cannot be recovered; it must be replaced. The enable and console login passwords may be encrypted or clear text. Proceed to the next step to replace an enable secret, console login, or enable password. If there is no enable secret password, note the enable and console login passwords, if they are not encrypted, and proceed to Step 16. Caution Do not execute the next step unless you have determined you must change or replace the enable, enable secret, or console login passwords. Failure to follow the steps as shown may cause you to erase your router configuration. Step 12 Enter the configure memory command to load the startup configuration file into running memory. This action allows you to modify or replace passwords in the configuration. Router# configure memory Step 13 Enter the privileged EXEC command configure terminal to enter configuration mode: Hostname# configure terminal Step 14 Change all three passwords using the following commands: Hostname(config)# enable secret newpassword1 Hostname(config)# enable password newpassword2 Hostname(config)# line con 0 Hostname(config-line)# password newpassword3 Step 15 Change only the passwords necessary for your configuration. You can remove individual passwords by using the no form of the above commands. For example, entering the no enable secret command removes the enable secret password. You must configure all interfaces to be not administratively shut down as follows: Hostname(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0 Hostname(config-int)# no shutdown Step 16 Enter the equivalent commands for all interfaces that were originally configured. If you omit this step, all interfaces will be administratively shut down and unavailable when the router is restarted. Use the config-register command to set the configuration register to the original value noted in Step 3 or Step 7, or to the factory default value 0x2102 as follows: Hostname(config)# config-register 0x2102 Step 17 Press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) or enter end to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter. 5-16 Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide OL-5102-02
