[c-nsp] Cisco 2820 Password Recovery

[Daniel Hooper]

Don’t you mean 2620?

28xx isn’t "ancient" by any means.

Sending a break to the console during the router booting is the only way I've known to recover from a lost password.

First off, yes, I know. This is an ancient piece of hardware.
No, we're not going to use it in production anywhere. Just a
few more ports in the lab already installed nicely in a rack.

Yes, it is ancient, so ancient Cisco TAC doesn't seem to want to
or is not able to help us with password recovery. But all of
the documentation I've found at Cisco and other places says
that's what we need to do. The procedure for the "newer"
firmware versions (i.e. after 1997 or so) does not seem to work
so I'm assuming this is an earlier version that they say
requires a call to Cisco.

So, am I SOOL, and it's a dumb switch, or is there a way to
get in there without Cisco TAC?
