Recovering Lost Passwords
You can remove individual passwords by using the no form of these commands.
For example, enter the no enable secret command to remove the enable secret
password.
Step 15 Configure all interfaces to be administratively up. In the following example, the
Ethernet 0 port is configured to be administratively up:
Router(config-line)# interface ethernet 0
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Enter the equivalent commands for all interfaces that were originally configured.
Step 16 Set the configuration register to the original value you noted in Step 3 or the
factory-default value (0x2102). The following example shows how to set the
configuration register to the factory-default value:
Router(config-if)# config-register 0x2102
Router(config)#
Step 17 Press Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode.
Caution Do not take the next three steps unless you have changed or replaced a password
or you might erase your router configuration. If there is no enable secret password (or if you
skipped Step 12 through Step 14), proceed to Step 21 and log in.
Step 18 Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the new
configuration to NVRAM. This command copies the changes you just made to the
running configuration to the startup configuration. The following message
appears:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Building configuration...
[OK]
Router#
Step 19 Reboot the router:
Router# reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
