[c-nsp] Sup720 password recovery problems

[Tantsura, Jeff]

Have you read this part?

Press Break on the terminal keyboard right after the RP gains control of the
console port. On the Catalyst 6000 that runs Cisco IOS Software, the SP
boots first. After it has booted, it turns control over to the RP. After the
RP gains control, initiate the break sequence. The RP gains control of the
console port when you see this message. (Do not initiate the break sequence
until you see this message):

00:00:03: %OIR-6-CONSOLE: Changing console ownership to route processor

Hi,

I'm trying to get into a Sup720 for which the password isn't known. In 
fact, I'll be happy just wiping the configuration completely.

Unfortunately dispite doing 'confreg 0x2142' in the rom monitor, when I 
boot it up it, it's reset itself back to 0x2102. It's almost as if the IOS 
is overwritting the register value somehow.

Does anyone have any idea how this might be happening, and how I can get 
into the device?

Thanks,

Sam
