    CISCO Question HELP Me PLEASE>>&gt

    Locked

    by jcho ·

    Hi, I’ve recently purchased CISCO 2505 router from Ebay. I’ve received the router today and found out the sender doesn’t know the secret password. How do I reset the configuration or just simply change the password. When I try to console in it gives me a prompt that looks like WCFMC> It asks for the password if I try to enter a command.

      Sometimes a default pass may still exist such as “Cisco”.

      I tried the links listed above and could not get the document they are talking about. I found the reference, which I confirmed.

      http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_fix/827/827swcfg/trble.htm#xtocid360011

      This works because I have had to do this atleast once.

        Sorry, for some reason my link failed to work also. Go to http://www.cisco.com -> in the search field at the top of the screen, enter the followin text: ENABLE PASSWORD RESET. The first item listed in the search results was titled troubleshooting. This is the reference.

      Cisco 2500 Series Router Password Recovery Procedure
      http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/474/pswdrec_2500.html

      Attach PC with hyper-terminal to router console port
      Settings:
      9600 baud
      No parity
      8 data bits
      1 stop bit
      No flow control

      Turn router off and then back on

      Press Break on terminal keyboard w/in 60 sec. of power-up to put router in ROMMON

      Type o at the > prompt

      Record the value of the config register (usually 0x2102, or 0x102)

      Example:
      >o
      Configuration register = 0x2102 at last boot
      Bit# Configuration register option settings:
      15 Diagnostic mode disabled

      Type o/r 0x2142 at the > prompt

      Type i at the > prompt

      Type no after each setup question

      Type enable at the Router> prompt. You’ll see the Router# prompt

      Type config mem or copy start running – DO NOT type config term

      Type wr term or show running

      The show running and wr term commands show the configuration of the router

      Type config term and make the changes

      The prompt is now hostname(config)#

      Type enable secret

      Issue the no shutdown command on every interface that is used. If you issue a show ip interface brief command, every interface that you want to use should be “up up”

      Type config-register 0x2102, or the value you recorded in step 2

      Press Ctrl-z to leave the configuration mode

      The prompt is now hostname#

      Type write mem or copy running startup to commit the changes

      rjtaylor has given you the book answer, and it is correct, one gotcha to look out for:

      Where the book says:

      “Attach PC with hyper-terminal to router console port
      Settings:
      9600 baud
      No parity
      8 data bits
      1 stop bit
      No flow control

      You sometimes have to adjust these settings to get your router to accept keyboard input from your computer that is attached to the console port. This is particularly true for Laptops and some KVM’s. I had to change it to 2400,8,none,2,Noflowcontrol for my new 7140 cisco router before I could get any keyboard input to be accepted. This took hours on the phone with CISCO TAC, but now that I know this trick, I don’t freak when I can’t initially talk to a router, Ijust have to spend hours getting the right combo on hyperterm.

      Good luck

      I’m not sure if this still applies, or if you have already got the answer, but here goes

      1. power off
      2. wait 10 secs
      3. power on
      4. press CTRL-BRK within 10 secs
      5. prompt s/b >
      6. o/r (RETURN)
      7. i (RETURN)
      8. choices – configure from scratch
      This allows you to create your own config
      OR
      type “no” (RETURN)
      9. prompt s/b hostname (boot) >
      10. type “enable” (RETURN)
      11. get “hostname #”
      12. type “show config”

      last time I tried this was a year ago, and it showed all passwords
