Cisco 3560-G Username/password recovery

Evening all,
whilst configuring a 3560-G i was interupted whilst setting a username and password, unfortantly when i turned back around I was kicked out. it is now asking for a username even though i havent set one fully. i was vty into the device and am unable console in at the moment is there anything I can do to get past this except get physical access and reboot the device. I havent saved the config at any point so if I reset i assume the username/password mistake wouldnt exist any more. Any help is greatly appriecated.
Cheers
Neil,

I havent saved the config at any point so if I reset i assume the username/password mistake wouldnt exist any more.
Reboot the switch is one option. You can have physical access to the appliance or you can use SNMP to remotely reboot the appliance. For this method to work, the command "snmp-server system-shutdown" needs to be enabled.
Another option is to pull down or upload the config using SNMP. This method is dependent on SNMP RW community string is disabled or not.

Cisco 1921 no username password commad

Hi,
I ahve countered an issue today. I was working on 1921 which is used as test router in ISP. I have loaded a router with test config with username & password in running config. After a while i have removed the username & password with no username---password---- command, then i logged out of router. But now its not allowing me to login as its asking username & password while its not taking any username/password not even cisco/cisco, admin/administrator.
Is this a behaviour of 1921 as i have not copied the runn to start but i disconneced from secure putty session when router was in running config mode. Kindly help.
Regards,
Vishal

You have the router configured to use the local user database, but you have removed all the accounts. Doing that will not disable the configuration for using the local database. What you are experiencing is "normal". Menaing that the router is configured for authentication but there are no valid accounts. Like Reza stated, reboot the router and you'll get the startup config. If the config was saved, you'll have to do a password recovery on it.

Cisco Jabber Invalid Username/Password

Hello All,
I am currently deploying CUCM 8.6 with CUP 8.6. The end users of CUP are synced to CUCM, which in turn synced to an OpenLDAP server. The synchronization is working properly i.e. users in CUCM also exist in CUP. However, when I tried to login into Jabber, it keeps giving me "Invalid Username/Password" error. I tried logging into Cisco Unified CM User Options (<ip address>/ccmuser) using the same credentials and succeeded. However, I failed to login to Cisco Unified Presence User Options (<ip address>/cupuser).
Any help?
Thank you

I had this exact same issue. Mine was due to a failover. Users were all moved to one server so about half were not working. In CUPS go to System -> Cluster Topology and expand the cluster. Look for Red Xs indicating an issue. Click one where it gives the number of assigned users. Do any say "Failed Over" and have that check box? The ones that do not likely are getting this message of invalid UN/PW. You can test this by pointing the jabber client directly at the working server (the server their name is not under in Cluster Topology). If this is your scenario look for errors and then try clicking the cluster to get "Subcluster Detail" page and click the "Failover" button on the server that has that option. The red X should disappear and the users should be on their subsequent server again and thus should be able to log in.

Cisco ACS 4.x Password Recovery

I inherited a ACS server, but I don't have the admin password. Does anyone know of a password recovery technique ?

If it is running acs ver 4.0 on windows, then it is not possible. With ACS v4.0 all the configurations have been shifted from registry to a database file thus increasing the security in ACS. So as of now there is no way to recover the lost Admin password in ACS v4.0, cause no setting is in registry, all settings are in SQL database.
So need to reimage it ...
If it is acs windows 3.3.4 or below then you need to make registry change,
login to ACS machine as administrator..
Go to start ===> run ===> regedit
Click on HKEYLOCAL machine ===> software ===> cisco
===>CiscoAAAv3.2===>CSAdmin===> and delete all administrative users defined by
right clicking into the administraor folder.
Now login locally to ACS and it should not prompt you for password.
For a best practice make sure that you have Allow automatic login is checked
This will not prompt you for password if you are logging in locally from ACS mahcine.
If it is appliance then you need to use recovery cd to reset admin password.

Cisco 878 "priv" command password recovery in Rommon mode

Hi,
There was " Cookie information corrupt" error on cisco 878 and I enter cookie information with cookie command. The priv command password is "0000" when all cookies zero, but I inserted wrong cookies . I want to edit cookie information. The priv command password changed and I can't edit cookie informations.
How can I recovery priv command password in rommon ?
Thanks for help,

Hi friends,
I solved problem. You must add the first five numbers in 16-bit hex in cookies :
Sample :
00
01
+
00
30
+
85
d7
+
e0
60
+
0a
ff
= 17167
The password is only four characters, so remove the most significant bit and the password is 7167.

Cisco VXC 6215: bios password recovery

hi
I have a unit of VXC 6215, once rebooting "DEL" is pressed, brings us to the BIOS password input. Black & Blue screen
Passwword/Unlock Key: [???????????]
Unlock Key Hint Number: 35629588
What is the password/unlock key? Could not find it in any of the admin guide.
Please advise

while the VXC6215 is booting up, Press & Hold the "DELETE" key. This will take you into BIOS MODE of the VXC6215. Note: you may have to do this a couple of times to get it to work.
The PASSWORD to get into BIOS mode is "Fireport"

Cisco NCS admin password recovery.

Hi All
In Cisco NCS shell I have incorrectly entered the following command in order to chang ethe admin password and saved it
username admin password hash <password> role admin
and hence lost the access to shell (ssh). Is there a way to retrieve or reset the admin password. Tried to log in as single user (as in any ohter Red Hat Distribution) but didn't work. In the worst case scenario I have rebuild the server (VM) from the .ova imange, however the licenses won't work.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hello,
The only way to recover the admin password for NCS would be to use the recovery image (iso). The recovery image is not available for download from CCO. Please open a TAC case & they can special publish the image for you.
For the CLI admin password, the recovery method is the same as the physical appliance. Attach the recovery ISO, and reboot the machine. You may have to force the virtual machine to boot from the cd drive. Once it does, you will get the menu that contains the password recovery option.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, you have to reset to factory defaults. Then reconfigure. Here's the TAC Case
Solution # K52826052
Title How to recover a password on the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller
Core Issue
Resolution
There is no password recovery option on the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). You need to set the WLC to factory defaults and reconfigure it.
In order to set the WLC to factory defaults, power cycle the WLC, press ESC Key during the boot up process from the console and select last option(5) to clear the configuration and reboot the Wireless Lan Controller.
Note:The new default username and password is "admin".

Cisco ISE 1.2 vm cli admin password recovery

I'm having trouble getting this to work. I was under the impression by mounting the ISO (connect at power on) i could perform the password recovery like it states for the hardware appliance. However, if i mount the 1.2.0.899 iso image (connect at power) I don't seen to get any options in my vm console? At most, I have a <enter> at the very beginning that will take me to Grub or ADE boot menu... but I don't see anything about options to change the password?

Make sure you are following the steps in the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/1-2/installation_guide/ise_ig/ise_postins.html#38674
Also, make sure that the VM Guest is set to boot from DVD/CD first before trying the HDD.

The password recovery worked, but you copied your problematic config back to the switch. Skip Step 13 and paste only the working part of the config to the switch.
You can see your renamed config with "more flash:config.text.old".

Cisco CRS Password Recovery

After swapping hard disks between two servers I can not access CRS Administration page through LDAP authentication. Default username/password Administrator ciscocisco doesnt help.
This guide doesnt help either
http://www.ciscosystems.com/en/US/products/sw/custcosw/ps1846/products_tech_note09186a00805a7acc.shtml
I can not find files mentioned in it. Not sure about our version, I am new to Cisco Contact Services. All I know is that it was configured with LDAP authentication.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance

Hello. I have the similar issue. We use CUCM 7.1, UCCX 7.0.
An access to CUCM is configured through LDAP authentication. One of the corporate domain was broken, then it was recreated. After that I can't get an access to UCCX with admin user. It's interesting that I can see this user under the users list in CUCM and I can access UCCX with another user (with limitied rights). It seems like ldap integration is still working but something wrong with admin user. We tryed change a password for that user but it didn't help. I tryed use the "FRESH_INSTALL" procedure which is described in this post but when I try to log on with default user I have a blank page under this address:
http://UCCX_ip_address/appadmin/j_security_check.
Could anyone tell me what could it be? How can I log in with default username?
Thanks in advance.

Cisco 1921 CCP discovery error username/password

Hi,
I have some servers here that needed a more stable router than my WNDR3700 with dd-wrt could offer. I have never used the Cisco IOS before and am a gui lover by nature. After reading about the new CCP and its flexability I made the plunge. I have done the initial configuration via a serial connection. I gave the router its basic information and figured out how to turn on HTTP/HTTPS via the IOS. CCP pro is unable to discover the router due to a bad username or password. I entered in 3 different passwords during setup but never a username and password. I thought all I needed to do was to create a new level 15 username and password.
I found this command
Router(config)# username name privilege 15 secret 0 password
I tried to use the new user but I still couldnt discover the router when I use "show users all" I do not see the created user.
I have been at it for several hours now. I had hoped that with these new ISR gen2 routers I wouldnt need to learn to much of the IOS at once. Is this not the case?

Hi Dave,
Cisco 1900 Router should be shipped with a default configuration for you to able to discover the router with the IP address 10.10.10.1. However, if you have already changed the default config, the command you are using to configure a username is correct.
Router(config)# username name privilege 15 secret 0 password
You could be seeing an incorrect username password error on Cisco CP if you are missing the below command:
Router(config)# ip http authentication local
I have just mentioned the mandatory configuration on the router to be able to discover the router on CCP:
Router(config)# username name privilege 15 secret password
Router(config)# ip http server
Router(config)# ip http authentication local
Router(config)# ip http secure-server <-- for secure connection
Router(config)# line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)# login local
Router(config-line)# transport input telnet ssh
Router(config-line)# line vty 5 15
Router(config-line)# login local
Router(config-line)# transport input all
Thanks
