[nsp] recover enable password

[MacDonald, James]

If you know the SNMP Read-Write string, you can download the configuration,
edit it and then upload it. The switch will take s short (under a few
seconds) hit on CPU load ... but that is all ... I'll see if I can dig up
the documentation on this. I've done it before though with success ...

Subject: [nsp] recover enable password


Hi all,
  I have got a cisco 6509 catalyst switch in my office .
  I have lost the enable password of this machine .

Is there any way of recovering it WITHOUT RESTARTING this 
switch.(the procedure on cisco site requires restarting the 
switch).This switch is very crucial to network & cannot be 
restarted.

I have heard that there is a way of getting switch running-config 
through SNMP & then decoding password through some C language 
code.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks & Regards
Arun
