Cisco Callmanager 5.2 Version root password

Hello All,
I have a CCM 5.2 version, linux box. By mistake I unplugded the system power cable. Now when I restarted the system it is giving an error. One of the disks needs to do an fsck. For continuing this step I need the root password which I do not have.
Please help me to recitify this problem.
Thanks in advance
George

Dear Jaime,
Thank you so much for the reply. I had an old image of the system and I restored the same. Now it is working fine.
I found another link for rectifying the problem

Cisco Callmanager Version 9.X on Custom Made Server

Hi Cisco
May i know can we install Cisco Callmanager version 9.X on custom made server? i plan to buy one of custom made server from third party with free dos.
Then i want to buy cisco callmanager version 9.x software to install on the custom made server. Is it possible?
Since Cisco camoe out with UCS server all the callmanager was install with vmware platform. Is it possible i install the callmanager version 9.x into custom made server with free dos.
Then i install the callmanager version 9.X into the custom made server.

UCS are only for virtualised applications, they are different from the old appliance based MCS servers. You'll need to buy UCS server, VMware licenses etc.
You can look into Cisco BE6k for that many users. BE6k is basically a UCS C220 server (other than small which is UCS E160D blade server) that comes as a bundled solution, with pre-installed VMware, pre-loaded software (CUCM, CUC, UCCX etc. install media) and normally a starter 25 licenses (you can buy additional add-on licenses as per need) so review the BE6K and see if that fits your needs. It comes in small, medium etc. different capacities.
I would also recommend installing the latest version of CUCM which is 10.5, if you have no particular reason to stick to 9.1.

If any one was successfull please let me know.
thanks,

This is how to get CallManager 4.1.3 running on non-MCS server.
1. Install Windows 2000 server (15 gig partition). Make all passwords the same, including WIN2K account. (I used " cisco" )
2. Keep all the default installation components,
just add DHCP under Network Services,
and SNMP under Management and Monitoring tools.
3. Assign a static IP.
4. If installing in VMware, install VMware tools (under the main VM tab ) .
5. Install SP3 (at-least). (or make an win200 boot CD yourself with slipstream( google: XP slipstream)
6. Setup DHCP scope and options, don't forget to add the CISCO TFTP option 150
7. Copy the text below into a text file and name it with a .reg extension,
double click this file to make the changes to the registry.
7a) ccmreg1.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems\Model]
"Hardware"="MCS7825H02"
"Speed"="2268"
"Memory"="2048"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Spirian\System Info\OS Image]
"Version"="2000.2.6"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Spirian\System Info\OS Service Release]
"Version"="2000.2.6sr5"
7b) install win-OS-Upgrade-K9.2000-2-7.exe
7c) ccmreg2.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems\Model]
"Hardware"="MCS7825H02"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems\Spirian]
"ProductKey"="BTOOVQESCCJUIEBI"
"Deployed"="0000000000000000"
8. copy c:\program\cisco\updates\2000 2.7sr5\shutdown.exe naar c:\utils
9. Install CallManager 4.1(3)
ccmsetup.exe
10. Go to Start >> Programs >> CCM 4 >> CallManager Administration and IE will open.
11. Go To Menu >> Application >> CCM Serviceability >> Tools >> Service Activation.
>>Click> on server u want to configure on left hand side.
>>Click> "Cisco RIS Data Collector" and press update.
>>Click> on all the services one by one and press update.
12. You should now have CallManager 4.1(3) running.
13. Upgrade OS and CCM with all patches if needed.
14 you can use P2V to make an copy of an working CM to a VMware machine

10.3 MYSQL Root Password problem..

We are running OSX Server 10.3.9 with the built in MYSQL. Somehow the root password for MYSQL that was set is not working and I am locked out with a 1045 error. I need to know how I go about resetting the ROOT password for MYSQL. as I mentioned, I am using the MYSQL that comes with 10.3.9. I have looked online but the tutorials for resetting the passwords do not work on my version...
Thanks...
-- Dave Hauss

I think by default Solaris uses CRYPT_DEFAULT=__unix__ which limits you to 8 characters.
in order to have more than 8 usable characters in your passwd, then you must use "md5"
CRYPT_DEFAULT=md5
this is located in : /etc/security/policy.conf
I think you may want to change the password length in /etc/default/passwd
PASSLENGTH= (default=6) change it to something of your liking.
be sure to do a little more research on the exact steps, but this is what you are loking for. im just going by memory here.

OEL 6.1 -- How to set root password?

Hi all,
Maybe it's a silly question, but I'm new to OEL, and this 6.1 install is the first time I've installed OEL.
Everything seemed to go perfectly smoothly, but the installer never prompted me to enter a root password, and now I've got a system that boots to a login prompt, but I have no idea what userid/password to use to login. Is there a default root password?
Help!
Thanks,
-Mark

Dear mbobak,
You don't need to boot into rescue image, mount, chroot
all what you need is to boot into single mode from GRUB.
If it happen again, please follow these steps:
- Reboot the system and wait for the GRUB screen to appear
- Highlight the kernel version you're currently using (usually the newest version) from the GRUB list
- Press "e" to be taken to the boot commands edit screen, highlight the line which starts with kernel and press "e" again
- Add "single" to the end of the line, so it will look like this:
kernel /vmlinuz-kernel-version ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet single
- Press "Enter" to save the changes
- Press "b" to boot in single user mode.
Your system will begin loading and, at some point, you will be presented with a root bash prompt.
- In the new prompt type passwd and choose a new password for root.
- When done, type reboot to restart the system. After reboot, GRUB will be back to normal so no further modifications are required.

Forget unix root password

Hi
A LAN administrator forgets his UNIX root password. Yes, I know it is frustrating to forget the root password. Any way, is there a way to login and change or reset the root password? Someone tried to boot off a Solaris 7 CD and cancelled the options INSTALLED and UPGRADE, then tried to mount /dev/rdks/c0t0d0s0 /mnt, but not working.
Thank you
Cindy

Hey Hey..
The option of "boot cdrom -s" , mounting the disk's root partition using a simple mount command and then editing the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files works fine whatever Solaris version.
Just make sure that your /etc/passwd root entry in the disk's root
(rememeber to /<mount point>/etc/passwd and not /etc/passwd when booting off the CD is like this.
root::0:1:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh
Note that the second filed in this file is BLANK.
Then also make sure that the /etc/shadow file entry alos looks
like this.
root::11515::::::
Note that the second filed in this file is BLAN here too.
Now you are all set and root has no password when you do a
reboot of the system through your disk.

Can not change root password for WCS

Need to change the root password for the web gui.
WCS is running on linux, i have tried to do the passwd user-root but it cames back saying it can not find the username.

Alex
You could use the recovering password procedure for wcs as a workaround (chapter 14 of the following link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/wcs/7.0/configuration/guide/WCS70cg.html )
Recovering the WCS Password
You can change the WCS application root user or FTP user password. This option provides a safeguard if you lose the root password. An executable was added to the installer /bin directory (passwd.bat for Windows and passwd.sh for Linux). Follow these steps to recover the passwords and regain access to WCS. For password recovery on a wireless location device, refer to chapters 8 or 9 of the Cisco 2700 Series Location Appliance Configuration Guide.
Note If you are a Linux user, you must be the root user to run the command.
Step 1 Change to the WCS bin folder.
Step 2 Perform one of the following:
Enter passwd root-user newpassword to change the WCS root password. The newpassword is the root login password you choose.
or
Enter passwd location-ftp-user newuser newpassword to change the FTP user and password. The newuser and newpassword are the FTP user and password you choose.
Step 3 The following options are available with these commands:
•-q — to quiet the output
•-pause — to pause before exiting
•-gui — to switch to the graphical user interface
•-force — to skip prompting for configuration
Step 4 Start WCS.

Hi,
To recover the root password, you'll want to follow these steps: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6128/products_password_recovery09186a008073cab6.shtml#later.
Even though it is not specific to the profiler software, the appliance is the same so the recovery process is the same.
If you've lost the admin password, you can reset the password using this procedure: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/profiler/configuration_guide/310/p_user_man31.html#wp1066696.

Linux installing applications requires root password.

Can anyone explain to me why it is that on Linux, Air
requires a root password to install an application even if the
installation directory is specified as somewhere within my own home
directory?
That it asks for a root password under such circumstances
seems very wrong. The application files are being written to my
home directory, I don't need to be root to write there and I do not
want files being created in my home directory with root as the
owner, as Air does when it installs an application.
Asking for the root password also means that users who have a
Linux machine that is administered for them by someone else and do
not have root are unable to install Air applications themselves
even if the administrator has installed Air on their
machine.

First of all, on behalf of myself (and anyone else who has
been wondering about this particular detail of Adobe AIR) let me
thank you for your helpful reply. This does still leave me with a
couple of questions, however...
quote:
Originally posted by:

AIR applications are similar to regular native applications -
they install as native rpm/deb packages. This requires access to
the rpm/deb system database (e.g. rpm database lock). And this is
required even if the installation folder is chosen to be one that
is owned by the current non-root user. In addition, with root
privileges, it's also possible to install applications to a
location that is accessible to other users on the system.
I have confirmed for myself the accuracy of this information
and I thank you for pointing it out. While this does make some
sense on the surface, it does leave me wondering something about
the security level of this install process. When I install
applications from my Linux distribution's package sources, I have
GPG (or PGP) cryptographic key signatures ensuring that all the
packages are un-altered from their original form on the
distribution's package servers, and a team of programmers assuring
me that the code of these packages are (at least somewhat) safe as
far as they are able to tell. I am thus far unable to find
information leading me to believe that there is similar assurance
that I am not willingly installing unknown malware (keystroke
logger, spyware, etc.) disguised as a desktop widget (for example)
when installing Adobe AIR applications. As a code savvy user, I can
personally download and examine the code of many AIR apps to ensure
their safety myself before installing, but what about users who
understand code as well as they understand Martian language or
ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs? Is there any assurance process in
place for the average user similar to that of native distro
packages? If so, can anyone point me to where that is discussed on
the Adobe pages?
Also, as an aside note; root privileges are not technically
REQUIRED in order to install an RPM package in a location which the
user already has write access to, as I personally have on many
occasions installed source code packages (SRPM) from my
distribution's package manager in my home folder while logged in as
a normal user (without the use of 'su' or 'sudo' or such) for the
purpose of building newer versions of the RPM packages which they
correspond to.

However, do note that when they are launched, AIR
applications run with the privileges of the user launching the
application and not root. The primary executables of AIR
applications (under the bin/ folder in the installation path) do
not have the setuid bit set. You should not be worried about AIR
applications running with root privileges, based on the fact that
their installation required superuser access - the two are
completely independent.
This does still go back to the original point about the
security of the code itself which is being installed in the first
place. What quality assurance process is in place (beyond the star
ratings system on the application showcase site) to ensure that
malware was not installed (as root) and then happily being run by
all the users of a system while blissfully unaware of the capture
of their passwords or other personal information? (Again, an
example, and not the only such possible worry.) If such an
assurance system
is already in place, where can I (and other AIR users) read
more about it?
The reasons for this concern should be obvious when one
considers that a malicious application does not necessarily need to
be run as root to still do a great deal of damage on a system and a
sufficiently sneaky malware application could possibly even
obtain root privileges once installed on a system through
some other privilege escalation exploit. As an administrator of
multiple systems and networks, I have to be cautious about which
applications I allow on to a system or network for this very
reason.
Please be aware that I am not making these points and asking
these questions to be a "troublemaker" or to shoot down the
achievements of the AIR team, or Adobe. To the contrary, I am very
impressed by the technology that I've seen so far and would
very much like to see AIR become and stay a genuinely useful
part of the web ecosystem on all platforms. As a matter of fact,
I'm personally reading a few different resources currently about
how to develop AIR applications in anticipation of satisfactory
answers to my few remaining concerns about AIR security worries. ;)
P.S.: If this forum was the wrong place to be discussing
these specific types of issues and concerns, please feel free to
point me toward a better place where such things should be better
covered and where like-minded individuals and groups might either
continue the discussion or resolve / close this concern entirely.
An IRC channel where AIR devs hang out maybe, or perhaps another
Adobe forum where security concerns are discussed, etc.? :)
Anyhow, sorry about the long rambling post. Thank you to
Ashutosh Sharma for your initial reply to this thread, and thank
you in advance to whoever may reply further and bring final
resolution to any remaining worries I and others may have regarding
these and similar potential security concerns. :)

Snow Leopard Finder always prompting for root password

I've just 'upgraded' to Snow Leopard from Tiger on my Macbook Pro, only because increasing numbers of applications wouldn't install on Tiger. Snow Leopard is significantly slower than Tiger (2 gig plainly isn't enough for SL) and it's knackered a few of my installed applications, but that's not the main irritation. Now, when I carry out any move or delete operations in the Applications folder in Finder, I'm repeatedly prompted for the root password, even though I'm logged in as the root user. As it's quite a long password, for security reasons, this is a real PITA. Under Tiger, I was never so prompted. Can anyone suggest why Leopard's producing this prompt, and what can be done about it? Other than de-install SL and re-install Tiger, that is...

Is running as "root" your normal mode of operation? If so, why? For several reasons that's recommended.

Ok, I suppose I should be a bit more accurate. I login as user 'fredriley' which is a user with superuser rights. I don't login as 'root' because that's pretty bad practice in the Unix world (and rightly so), so my original message was inaccurate.
I'm guessing that's a mistype and should say "For several reasons that's not recommended" since in OS X root is disabled by default. What you were really getting a prompt for is the admin password. But you know that.
Now, though, I find some apps that would work under Tiger not working under SL, and I see no real functionality gain from 10.4 to 10.6. Ho hum.
Only because the application versions you have were written for an OS that was superseded almost four years ago. The current versions of those apps are likely better than ever.
As for "no functionality gain" ...look harder. For me, Tiger was a good solid OS with a few annoyances, Leopard was even more solid with the refinement and removal of most of the Tiger annoyances, and Snow Leopard is a further optimization.
Some people complain about new versions of various apps and OSs only getting loaded down with feature bloat. Well, with OS X you also get a lot of refinement and optimization. If a new version appears to have "no functionality gain," would that not imply that most of the work went into substance (performance, efficiency, workflow) rather than style (feature bloat and eye candy)? Just trying to help you keep an open mind. Personally, I would not want to go back to Tiger because I would miss the subtle but positive adjustments that were made since then. Tiger would just annoy me now.

Cisco Callmanager Amtskopfanzeige

Hallo zusammen
wir haben ein kleines Problem in unserer Telefonanlage und zwar...
Bei ankommenden Anrufen per Handy werden ja 2 Nullen von der Telefonanlage vorne angehängt.
Wenn jetzt Handys mit Amtskopfanzeige (Rufnummer Anzeige bei Weiterleitung – Telekom option) auf einem Telefon(mit Weiterleitung auf Handy) anrufen, werden diese 2 Nullen noch angehängt.
Siehe hier:
0151xxxxx -> 089xxxxxxx (Weiterleitung -> 0175xxxxx) = +49 (0) 0175xxxxxx (am Handy)
Somit wird die Nummer falsch angezeigt und kann auch nicht zurück gerufen werden.

Yes, the CM was setup by another vendor and has been running for a while. We will probably schedule a reboot, but I wanted to be sure there wasn't something else I could look at first.

Lost/forgotten root password

i was given an ibook with osx but the previous owner has forgotten the root password and all attempts at a reset of the root password has failed. need to find a way to reset the root password the version of osx that is installed is oroborosxv0.75a4r2

Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

Reset root password of OVS Server

Hi Guru,
I have install the OVS Server 3 and now am unable to connect using the root password.. I need to reset the password so that I can login to the OVS Server.
Can you please help to provide steps to perform this
Note: I have already tried to boot OVS Server into the single user mode but it’s not working.
Thank you in advance
Regards,
Jignesh

OVM server is just linux with the Xen hypervisor so it should reset fairly easily. Did you follow steps like the ones below, this is for RHEL which is the upstream Distro for the OVM Server kernel.
1. Boot the system and when you see the following message "Press any key to enter the menu", press any key. (You will see the list of available kernel versions.)
2. Press e in order to edit commands before booting.
3. Highlight the list item with vmlinuz in it by using the arrow keys and press e.
4. Now type single or init 1 at the end of the line.
5. Then press enter and b to boot the system with the new argument. (The system will boot into single user mode and you will see bash prompt)
Now it's time to change the password:
6. Type passwd
Examples:
### Shell Commands ###
passwd
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
7. Type reboot to restart the system.

Sun 7120 - problems with resetting root password?

We have just taken delivery of a Sun 7120 system, did the initial config today no problems, then came to log in to tweak it and it refused my root password. Logged on the serial console with the same password fine, logged out and now it won't let me back in, just says "login incorrect". Have reset the CLR PW jumper on the mainboard, and rebooted and it then comes up in the preboot system, but reports errors about the ILOM. After powering down and removing the jumper, the root password is still there!
Output on bootup attached below, can anyone help?
