Pete,

As a Cisco employee, I would ask that you not publish such a tool. It's dangerous and will probably create more problems than you are trying to solve. Obviously, I have no authority to stop you but I have forwarded the message to the product team to ask them to re-evaluate the algorithm they are using to make sure this account password process remains a Cisco-only process.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Root Access via UCOS Remote Support

I'm testing a routine that translates remote support passphrases into account passwords.  So far it works on 10.5.2, but I'm guessing it will work with any passphrase ending in '03'.

Before I post a web page or utility for this, I'd like to test it out with other versions.  If you have lab environment and wouldn't mind helping out, enable remote support and send me the passphrase (along with source product/version) off list.  I'll reply back with the decoded password.
