Cisco recovering password

by v.prakash . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

I have a cisco 3662 router. I suppose some one has hacked it last week, and they have disabled the password recovery functionality.(Usually we can go to ROMMON mode and break the password. However router is not going to ROMMON mode, even if we press CONTROL-BREAK at the appropriate place(“image text-base…..”)

The other option i got in cisco site is that i should remove the NVRAM and put it again, as it will erase the configuration. My router’s NVRAM does not appear to be removable as it looks to be soldered to board.

SO any other idea other than above is most welcome, and would be helpful to us.(The Hacker has gracefully untouched the configuration of our router and all the connections to the router are working fine.)

One useful info is our router has an SNMP Read only string configured.

Suggestions welcome to sort the problem
