[nsp] Cisco 3660 Password Recovery

[Voll, Scott]

I would not do it.... You need to boot into rommon.  If your using tera
term you use the "alt b" to enter rommon(here is the list of break keys
for each program http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/701/61.html ).  Then
you need to set the configreg to 2142.  then reload.  This will set it
to boot but not load the config.  When it boots, it will ask if you want
to enter the setup utility.  Enter no.  Then copy start run and reenter
your new passwords.  Then set the configreg to 2102. copy run start and
reload and you should be set.  (complete instructions

Subject: [nsp] Cisco 3660 Password Recovery




We have a 3660 router that we pulled from one of our POP's and were
about to redeploy it, but we ran into a nasty problem.

The unit isn't accepting the password we have on record for it, and to
top it all off, somehow the "no service password-recovery" option got
set.  I have no idea how this happened.

I tried a procedure I found on the web which showed how to bypass this
setting at a specific phase of the boot cycle, but it didn't work on our
router.  The example was shown with 12.0.7(T) on a C2600.  I'm going to
try to put a 12.0.7(T) image for the 3660 on a flash card, and force a
boot from it by removing the on board flash.  Am I heading in the wrong
direction?
