How to recover IDSM-2 password (without know any password)

Hi,
We have a IDSM-2 system card in 6500 system. Unfortunately, we lost tracking the login/password. I have read Cisco doc# 13837. It req to know either admin username/password or service username/password to do password recovery. I do not have those info (and tried). The last method suggested is to re-image IDSM-2 (IOS). I am wondering there is a better way to recover password like other switch..(such as hold mode to reboot switch) without re-image. Here is the card info:
"WS-SVC-IDSM-2 8 ports Intrusion Detection System Rev. 6.1"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A "re-image" is necessary, but it is not a standard re-image.
Instead there is a special image file that ONLY sets the cisco password back to the default "cisco". It doesn't change anything else on the system.
Download the password recovery image file WS-SVC-IDSM2-K9-a-6.1-password-recovery.bin.gz from:
http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/ImageList.x?relVer=6.1%281%29E1&mdfid=277997776&sftType=Intrusion+Prevention+System+%28IPS%29+System+Software&optPlat=&nodecount=29&edesignator=null&modelName=Cisco+Catalyst+6500+Series+Intrusion+Detection+System+%28IDSM-2%29+Services+Module&treeMdfId=268438162&modifmdfid=null&imname=&treeName=Security&hybrid=Y&imst=N
To "install" this special password recovery file you will follow the System Re-Image instructions, but use this special file instead of the standard System Image file.

    Hi BobRz,
    As this is a new issue for me, I believe I had the incorrect approach, maybe you can help me. What I want to do is recover a few files in my desktop, and some information i had on the iCal application and the Mail application as well.As I do not want to do a full migration into this computer (which is not mine) I believe that starting the damaged MBP in Target mode should allow me to search and cop the files I need. But:
    1. Can I open the Ical and mail apps to look for the info I need while reading it as an external HD  ?
    2. Do the target machine (my friends) still need to be updated to ML o Mavs so that it recognizes my MBP as an external drive if starting it in Target mode ? (no migration assistant)
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately,  business machines such as Probooks or Elitebooks have more stringent security than consumer models - they don't produce 'halt codes', the password cannot be derived from the Serial No. and the code is stored in non-volatile memory so removing the RTC cell will not reset the password in this case.
    If you Contact HP Business support they should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file which you can use at boot to reset the password.

  • How to recover a lost passwords?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently tried to help a friend in installing software she has for her Mac.
    I was prompted for a password but she could not remember what her password was since she has not installed anything for a while.
    I thought it was kind of careless of her not to write it down but I did not give her a speech about it.
    Can anyone inform me how to recover of change passwords please?
    Or a link to instruction please?
    Rio.

    NOTE: The following information has been publicly disclosed on a number of Internet sites, and is not a new find. I'm simply repeating it here for the sake of completeness.
    Read the detailed section of this article for step-by-step instructions on regaining access to your root account.
    Originally posted by QuantumFusion on the MacNN forums, and repeated with slight readbility changes, here are the steps to regain access to root:
    Click Restart at the login window
    While the computer is restarting, hold down "Command-S" until you see text scrolling through the window. This boots the computer into single user mode.
    At the Localhost% prompt type:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    /sbin/SystemStarter
    You will then see various services starting up.
    When the Localhost% prompt reappears, type:
    passwd root
    It will then ask you to type the new root password twice, so do so.
    After entering the new password, type:
    reboot
    At the login window, enter username root wih the new password. Once you are connected, you can use the Multiple Users application (/Applications/Utilities) to change your normal user's password, or create a new user account.
    Good luck.

  • For some reason every time I try to open iPhoto, it opens it but immediately it frozen. I can no do anything or see any of my pictures. How can I fix it? without erasing any of my pictures.

    For some reason every time I try to open iPhoto, it opens it but immediately it frozen. I can no do anything or see any of my pictures. How can I fix it? without erasing any of my pictures.

    What version of iPhoto?
    A. iPhoto '11. Version 9.4.2 (710.42)
    What version of the Operating System?
    A.Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
    What was I doing when the problem arose?
    A. I was uploading some pictures from my camera to my Mac then I closed it. next time tried to open it and it went right to the way that the pictire before shows.
    Did it ever work properly?
    A. It had some details; like taking a lot of time to send a picture from iPhoto to an e-mail or not send it at all.
    What steps have I tried already to solve the issue?
    A. None, I havent wanted to do anything to fix it because I'm afraid I could somehow delete my pictures. I know the pictures still there; because, they are on my screen saver changing and changing.
    I also want to know if there is any other way for me to see my pictures other than trought iPhoto?

    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

    I don't know the administrator's password, does anyone know how to recover it? I am the administrator, and I'm posting this from a standard account. Not being able to log into MY account limits what I am able to do.

    I don't believe you can recover it. You can reset it without knowing the old one:

    and scroll down to the last section. You'll need to boot from an install CD.

  • How to get the jar file without knowing its name and any class inside it?

    Hello, everybody!
    I would like to know if there's a way to get a reference programatically to the initial jar without knowing its name and any class contained in it. By "initial jar" I mean the jar that was called in the prompt, like this:
    java -jar jarfile.jaror in another way, in a graphical system. To be sincere what I really want is to get a reference to the jar's manifest, but I know if I can get a reference to the jar I can get a reference to its manifest file. Or if you know a way to get the manifest directly, it would also help. So, is there a way to do this?
    Thank you.

    Can you be more specific - IOW, can you cite a specific case?Absolutely. I want to access the jar in source code with the java.util.zip.JarFile class, for example.But why? You still haven't provided a use case or explained what you're trying to accomplish. As already pointed out, whatever you're trying to do, this is a brittle solution. If you explain what you're trying to accomplish with this, somebody may be able to suggest a better approach.jverd, I explained for baftos. Anyway, I will try to be more specific. I start my sytem like this, from, say, for example, jar1.jar:
    import br.product.System;
    public static void main(String[] args)
        System.start("NameOfTheSystem");
    }The System class is in util.jar, for example. This jar is used by all systems. I wouldn't like to pass in the name of the system, as above. I would like that the System class could read it from jar1.jar's manifest file. I just would like to have this:
    import br.product.System;
    public static void main(String[] args)
        System.start();
    }It is more elegant and I don't have the name of the system in two places: code and manifest file.
