IDS Password Recovery
Hi,
Has anybody done a Password Recovery on IDS 4235 IOS version 4.1.
Kindly suggest on the same.
Plz reply me on [email protected]
The use of tftp only applies to the IDS-4215.
If you have console access to any other Cisco IDS device, you can pick the recovery partition from the LILO boot menu. This will force the appliance to re-image itself, setting the 'cisco' account password back to the default.
I hope this helps,

Hello,
I have two documents for password recovery on the 4235. Can you advise which one to use? The first one listed below seems easier but I have a feeling I'm missing something. Thanks.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/6.0/release/notes/8827_02.html#wp1157210
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps4077/products_password_recovery09186a0080094e83.shtmlAre you able to access version 5.0, or have you lost your passwords?
If you still have access to version 5.0, then there is no reason to do a re-image. Instead just "upgrade" to a more recent version like 5.1(7)E1, 6.0(4)E1, or 6.1(1)E1.
Upgrade locations:
IPS-K9-5.1-7-E1.pkg
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips5
IPS-K9-6.0-4a-E1.pkg
IPS-K9-6.1-1-E1.pkg
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips6
Upgrade instructions:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/security/ips/6.1/configuration/guide/cli/cli_system_images.html#wp1088688
If you have lost your passwords, then you will need to re-image, but I would not bother with version 4.1 or even 5.0. They are both too old and not worth loading at this point.
I would re-image directly to either version 5.1(7)E1 or 6.0(4)E1, or even 6.1(1)E1.
For 5.1(7)E1 use this file:
IPS-IDSM2-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.1-7-E1.bin.gz
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips5-cat6500-idsm2-sys
For 6.0(4)E1 use this file:
IPS-IDSM2-K9-sys-1.1-a-6.0-4-E1.bin.gz
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips6-cat6500-idsm2-sys
For 6.1(1)E1 use this file:
IPS-IDSM2-K9-sys-1.1-a-6.1-1-E1.bin.gz
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ips6-cat6500-idsm2-sys

6509 - 720 Supervisor Module Failure after Password Recovery
Hi,
I attempted to perform a password recovery on a 6509 with dual WS-SUP720-3B modules running 12.2(33)SXI2A.
After changing the configuration register to 0x2142 and booting, I am getting a major error on the supervisor modules. I've changed the configuration register back to 0x2102 and am still getting the same error on both supervisor modules. I've also tried it with one module removed and one module installed.
I have about 30 seconds in where I can run commands before I get booted to rommon.
Any thoughts?

B Switch is having previously removed linecard (i.e, fastethernet module)in running configuration. Will it create any system crash?
>>No, it will not cause the switch to crash, when you see the configuration of a line card even after it was removed is quite normal, it's cold module provisionsing, you would not want to keep putting in a configuration for any line card after just resetaing them do you? -
Hi,
I tried upgrading my 4240 sensor via CSm to IPS-CS-MGR-K9-7.0-5a-E4. The upgrade failed and the device was unreachable!!
I consoled into the device and rebooted. The login prompt appears, but the admin username and password combo does not work. I went through the password recovery procedure, but now get the following:
login: cisco
Password:
You are required to change your password immediately (password aged)
Changing password for cisco
(current) password:
Authentication token manipulation error
Does anyone have any ideas about this error message, or how I can fully recover to previous state? The service account works and gets me into bash, but I am not sure why CLI access is failing.
Many thanks
LiamLiam,
From this doc:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps4077/products_qanda_item09186a008025c533.shtml
. What does the "Authentication token manipulation error". error message mean?
A. In order to solve this issue, use default password (cisco) two times and then change the password from the config mode. The IDS requires the default password to be entered twice.
For example:
login:cisco
Password:cisco
Enter current password:cisco
Enter new password: ***
Re-enter new password: ***
Give it a try and see if it works.
I hope this helps.

THE ISSUES ARE:
1. FORGOT PASSWORD
2. FORGOT PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO
3. EXCEEDED ATTEMPTS TO LOGIN
I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLES FORUM PROBLEMS THAT ARE THE SAME. WHEN I FOLLOWED LINKS THAT SUPPORT GAVE THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM.
What I need is simply this: Blackberry to send me a RESET PASSWORD link to the email I have registered with Blackberry WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVIDE PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO. This will enable me to bypass unknown recovery password info and access my Blackberry ID account.
Why haven't I been able to find a solution to fix the problem?
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO EXIST........ ANYWHERE..... EVEN ON YOUTUBE BLACKBERRY ARE RUNNING AN OUT OF DATE SOLUTION CENTRE.
When looked online to Blackberry youtube video it shows a solution that doesn't exist! WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS UPLOADED IN 2011. DUH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvdRb4qNG1M
If I can't remember my password or recovery password info there is NO other option available that will send me a reset password via email so I can keep my current BB ID.
KB34776 - does not apply because you HAVE TO BE ABLE TO REMEMBER YOUR RECOVERY PASSWORD!
CHECKED THIS OUT...
Workaround
If the BlackBerry ID password has been forgotten but the answer to the password recovery question is known, select Forgot Password on the smartphone and answer the recovery question to generate a password reset email. Follow KB28685 to complete this process.
If the BlackBerry smartphone user knows the email address used for the BlackBerry ID login but is unable to remember the associated password then it is possible to reset the password using the steps below:
Note: If the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed, it is necessary to provide the answer to the password recovery question as part of the web based password reset flow.
To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, log in to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field. For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow KB34137.
Browse to the following URL using a desktop browser, the BlackBerry Browser on the BlackBerry smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook: http://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/recoverpassword
Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and the CAPTCHA characters, then clickSubmit.
Enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, then click OK.
Note: Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed.
A confirmation message will be displayed A password reset email has been sent to [email protected], at which point, a reset email will be delivered to the associated email address inbox.
Log in to the email account associated to the BlackBerry ID using the desktop browser, BlackBerry Browser on the smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Locate the password reset email and select the Change your BlackBerry ID password link.
Note: The BlackBerry ID reset email will come from [email protected]. If the email is not found in the inbox, check the mailbox's Spam or Junk folder.
When the password reset page loads, enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, enter the New Password, Confirm Password, then click Submit.
A confirmation message will display once the changes have been saved successfully.
Moving forward use the newly created password whenever logging into BlackBerry ID.
If the BlackBerry smartphone user does not know the email or password that was used for the BlackBerry ID, the BlackBerry ID will be locked out after 10 unsuccessful login attempts. See KB24157 for BlackBerry ID lockout behavior.
THEN CHECKED KB24157......
Overview
BlackBerry ID is the master key to BlackBerry smartphone products, sites, services and applications, including BlackBerry Protect and the BlackBerry App World storefront.
To prevent unauthorized access to the account, the BlackBerry ID will become locked out after a number of failed attempts. See the information below for an outline on the expected behavior:
Local Authentication Lockout
On BlackBerry PlayBook and BlackBerry smartphones if the user enters their BBID password incorrectly 10 times on the BBID sign in screen, verify password screen, or BBID Edit screens, they are LOCKED OUT of all the following functions on that BlackBerry device for 15 minutes:
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the sign in screen
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the verify password screen
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the BBID edit screens
Note: The user can still log in on the web or any other devices associated with their BlackBerry ID. They are only locked out on the device where the 10 incorrect attempts occurred. On the locked out device, after 15 minutes, they get 1 try to provide the correct password on the sign in and/or verify password screens. If they fail to enter the correct password, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes on that device.
Account Server Lockout
Users have total of 10 attempts to enter their password correctly against the BlackBerry ID Account Server.
The scenarios that increment the Account Server lockout counter are as follows:
Providing an incorrect password anywhere on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
Providing an incorrect password within the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on any BlackBerry device or BlackBerry PlayBook
Note: if a user provides an incorrect password 5 times on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid), and then 5 more times on the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on their BlackBerry PlayBook, the cumulative number of failed attempts is 10. Once the user has made 10 incorrect attempts to provide their password against the Account Server, they are locked out of the Account Server PERMANENTLY until they reset their password.
See KB26361 for information to reset a BlackBerry ID password
Note: The Account Server Lockout does NOT prevent the user from local authenticating on devices (the user can still authenticate on the sign in and verify password screens on their BlackBerry devices).
Forgot Password Lockout
If the user answers their Security Question incorrectly 10 times, they are locked out for 15 minutes of Forgot Password functionality on all interfaces such as:
BlackBerry website (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
BlackBerry PlayBook
BlackBerry smartphone
Note: After 15 minutes, they get 1 try, and if they fail to answer the question correctly, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes.
THAT DIDN'T WORK SO NOW ITS BACK TO..... KB26361

IT ALL LEADS BACK TO THE SAME UNHELPFUL NON-SOLUTION OF USE THE PASSWORD RECOVERY QUESTION....
Can the tech department of Blackberry please sort out this ridiculous unhelpful system by sending customers a direct email if password is forgotten so they can reset without having to go through the above without finding a solution.

Hopefully, this information will be of use to you.
But do please keep in mind that security is a 2-way street...the human element play an equal part in that security, and you have failed at that in this situation, yet desire for the automated methods to still recover for you. Such just isn't possible, because your failure has exceeded the capabilities of the automated methods.
Hence, you likely need human intervention from an actual BB representative, which is not available in this forum (as discussed in the first link I gave you above). But, the methods to attempt to seek human intervention are posted within the 2nd link I gave you.

My safari keeps crashing on me, and when it does it always says it was because of some Bat! Password Recovery Plugin. How can I fix this and stop t from happening?
You’ve been infected with the “Flashback” malware. See this Apple support document:
About Flashback malware
Back up all data, if you haven't already done so.
Select ▹ Software Update to install the latest Java update (if Java is already installed) or the Flashback malware removal tool (if Java is not installed under Lion), as well as any other available updates. Installing either of those items should clear the infection in most cases. No other action is required on your part. You must update to the latest version of Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7 before you can install the Java update.
Change every Internet password you have, starting with banking passwords. Check all financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Do this after you’ve secured your system, not before. -
How do i bypass the windows password without password recovery disk
My sister has passed away & Ive been copying her pictures off of her laptop for the family & I havent finished. It logged off last night & now its asking for password & no one knows the password.. Im almost positive there is a way to go around this password but I cant seem to figure it out on my own! Please Help ASAP THANX
Here are some common methods.
Method 1: Reset Windows 7, Vista, XP Password Via Another Administrator Account
If you have another user account with admin privileges, including built-in accounts in Windows 7/Vista/XP, you can easily bypass other accounts' password using Lusrmgr.msc and Command Line.
1. Log on Windows 7/Vista/XP with your administrator account. Click on Start, type lusrmgr.msc in the Search box(Win7/Vista) or Run box(Win7/Vista/XP) and click OK.
2. When the Local users and Groups dialog appears, open the Users folder. Right-click your user account and select "set password", type a new password and click OK.
Method 2: Reset WIndows 7/Vista/XP password with Windows password reset disk
Here is the steps to reset Windows password with password reset disk, bypassing Windows Vista/XP password is the same as this:
Step 1: Login Windows with a incorrect password, it will show you a link "Reset Password.." under the password box.
Step 2: Insert your password reset disk, click the link, When a password reset wizard appears, click Next.
Step 3: Choose the drive name from the pull-down list, click Next.
Step 4: Type a new password in the new password box, and type it again to confirm it. Click Next→Finish. Then you can login Windows again with the new password.
Method 3: Reset Windows password with Windows password recovery program
In this method, you need to load a recovery program on another computer, then burn it to a CD/USB. Boot your locked computer from CD/USB and reset WIndows password offline. This is a universal password reset method.

Hp password recovery in windows 8
I just wanted to tell you of a recent experience I had when contacting HP support
I called them yesterday with what I considered to be a simple question I found out that this question in their eyes was not that simple
the question was how do I set Up a password recovery flash drive in Windows 8.
the the person from HP said that he would need to check and would I please give him a minute to do so, when he came back he said that hp computers did not have this option.
I said to him how could this be as windows 8 says you can do this I also said that in windows vista and windows 7 you could do this and Why Would windows 8 Be any different he said he didn't know But this was not an option available hp in windows 8 he also stated
if I were to forget my password would be to install my operating system again. I said to him that it seemed unreasonable that I would have to reinstall my os just to recover my password and the must be a simpler option than that. he said no that would be my only option if I were to ever forget my password. I then said to him I did not believe the information he was giving me was accurate and was he 100% sure of the information he was giving me, he said yes and that he would send me an e-mail giving me step by step instructions. I said okay bye, I did not believe what he was telling me so I went online and found out in about 2 minutes all we needed to do was set this up via the settings screen and user account where it give you the option to make a password recovery usb flash drive I understand that they cannot possibly know everything but I feel if they don't know they should be willing to tell you that they don't know and passed you on to someone who does rather Than making you spend hours reinstalling an operating system that you don't need to. it also seems to me outsourcing technical support to third world countries like in this case india where they may not have a full grasp of some of the finer subtletys of the english language and company like hp dell toshiba and many others need to return technical support to the countrys in which the computers are sold and 1 other thing why is it that we no longer get a set of recovery cds with new computer and have to make a set ourselves when so often in the process of making them some write error happens and you only find out that is there is a problem with them when you come to use them I know companies need to make a profit on the sale of the computers but surely there is enough profit margin for them still to supplie you with the recovery media you needHi,
I afraid the pritner is not supported on Windows 8:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03457812&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
You will not be able to use any other alternative driver with the printer as there are no drivers to allow the PC to communicate with the printer through a USB connection..

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.

Root Password Recovery Question
Hello all,
I have a question regarding root password recovery in Solaris 10.
The Server is a Sun Fire T1000; it has no CD-Rom drive, as well as no USB ports. One of our data architects who is the main user of this server has locked himself out of root (he also never created any other user accounts).
Now I know normally for root password recovery you use the solaris cd to boot into single user mode to take care of this but that's not an option currently. I was wondering if there is a way to put the hard drive as a slave in another Sun Fire T1000 server and then mount it and modify the shadow file removing the encrypted password. I've done this in other Linux OS's and it has worked but I didn't know about Solaris.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is for a project my company is working on and they have a presentation coming up in around 4-5 weeks.
Thank you!
-MikeWell I tried making the locked out hard drive a slave on another server of the same type. But I couldn't seem to mount it, I even tried the "touch /reconfigure; init 6" to reconfigure devices but it just didn't seem to find it. I tried mounting everything in /dev/dsk but nothing was successful.
Anyone have any other suggestions on commands that might work?
I put a purchase order in for a USB to SATA converter, and got a hold of a different Sun server which has USB ports but no SATA, only IDE. As soon as I get it i'm going to try to mount it like a USB external hard drive. I believe when mounting USB it doesn't care if it's a jump drive or a external hard drive it should still mount it correctly. Hopefully this will allow me to modify the shadow file.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any other suggestions. -

I need to pull login which is like an e-mail id, password recovery phrase and Password Recovery Answer.
Can some one guide me from where or from which table or which info type should i pick these values and how.
Regards,
Jessica Sam.Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support explains the difference between Alternate and Rescue Addresses and the "necessity" for a Rescue Address.
I fall into the category of not needing one (only two security questions in the challenge), so my "Forgot your answers?" link to send the email sends to my ALTERNATE address.
I do not know the criteria for 2 or 3 security questions.
