cisco password recovery
How do I perform a password recovery?
In order to perform a password recovery you must have device console connection. Note: Remote connection to the device (SSH or Telnet) can not be used to perform the password recovery process. If terminal server is used for console connection, the process cannot work. Direct console connection is recommended.
Where is a password recovery file stored?
By default, the startup-config files are stored in the NVRAM and the running-config (actual device configuration) is stored in the DRAM. The main purpose of the password recovery process is boot the device with a default configuration and once there is access to the device, load the current configuration and change the credentials.
Can a password recovery process change if a router is different?
The process can change for routers running different IOS/IOS-XE family. In order to perform a password recovery you must have device console connection. Note: Remote connection to the device (SSH or Telnet) can not be used to perform the password recovery process. If terminal server is used for console connection, the process cannot work.
What is password recovery in Cisco devices?
Password recovery is a process in Cisco devices that helps administrators regain access to their devices in the event of a forgotten or lost password. When an administrator forgets the password, it can prevent them from accessing the device’s configuration and making necessary changes.
