Password Recovery router 1801

Hello everyone,
I have router 1801, I puted a password and made disable recovery mode. I forget my password now.
when I hit a pause key to enter in ROMMON mode it gives me this message
Upgrade ROMMON initialized
PASSWORD RECOVERY FUNCTIONALITY IS DISABLED
Now how can I enter in router? anybody help me please.

You can still perform a recovery but the entire config will be deleted.

ROMMON Password Recovery for 803 Router

Hello Netpros.
Whilst attempting to perform a standard enable password recovery on an 803 router, I discovered that a ROMMON password had been set. This had the significant disadvantage in that I could not set the config register to bypass the configuration on startup using the set command.
I've browsed Google and this site and there seems to be some reference to a cookie and/or priv command that may assist with resetting a ROMMON password but this particular router does not seem to understand either of these commands whilst in disable mode.
Excerpt follows:

Hope one of you guys can help.

Hi,
Yes, if you get this boot prompt with the ">" and not "#" that means some joker set a ROMMON password without reading the documentation what is the impact of that (and not documenting it as well). You have to contact Cisco TAC to clear that password, it's not written in any documentation how to clear it.

Dandy

Lost password in 1721 router (no service password-recovery)

I've lost the password of 1721 router. Unfortunately I've set "no service password-recovery".
I've tried cisco documentation. When I arrive at the boostrap I press crtl-break and the modem ask me "would you like to reset to default factory?" ok I press "y" but it doesn't work! I'm using a usb serial cable adaptor and TeraTerm.
Thanks.

Not without deleting the entire configuration. That's the whole purpose of that configuration option.

No service password recovery command on cisco 2801 router

HI,
we have a cisco 2801 router in class which has a disabled pasword recovery. We tried almost everything, we cannot get into ROMmon and the break sequence dosent work in any program (hyper terminal, putty, teraterm pro). We dont have any idea how to solve this problem.
Here is the log from hyperterminal:

Thanks for help!

I usually suffer from the same issue, but what works for me everytime is the other method that simulates break sequence. Can't find the documentation for it but this is how it goes:
Set the serial connection as follows in Putty:
Baud rate 1200
1 stop bit
8 data bits
no parity
no flow control
Turn off your router, then turn it back on and immediately press the spacebar for about 10-15 seconds. All you'll see is giberish. After that reset your console connection settings to the usual 9600 baud rate, and you'll find yourself in rommon mode.

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?

To answer your question:
A Is there any different procedure to install line modules in supervisor slots?
>>No there are no special configuration you need to do when inserting a line card in slots that normally would be for supervisor.
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?

I fully configured the appliance and, of course, changed the enable password, and then failed to document it, somehow, and I've long since forgotten it. I've looked for a recovery procedure, but haven't found one.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? So far, it seems like the only option is a factory reset and I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Thanks.

Hi zacmutrux,
Thank you for posting. Unfortunately you will have to set the router to factory defaults and reconfigure it. There is no password recovery procedure available for any of our SMB routers.

Federico,
There is something quite strange going on but one thing has caught my attention in particular. This is a part of your transcript:

Notice that the first question is whether you want to erase the configuration - you respond with yes, and the router continues booting. The second question displayed clearly shows that the router continues loading the configuration file and in particular processes the no service password-recovery command.
What would happen if you answered with n to this second question, preventing the router from accepting the no password-recovery stored command? Could you reload the router afterwards and try the password recovery procedure again?
Also, if this router has a removable Flash card, would you be able to enter the ROMMON and set the configuration register to 0x2142 if you removed the card and tried booting the router?
Best regards,

Please give me few Suggestions.
Thanks

Please read the information contained in the follwoing URL before you use this command:

IPS-4240 Password Recovery

Hi,
I have a problem with IPS-4240. Nobody of my workmates knows the password and I read that the only way is to reinstall the version of IOS. Is there any other way to recover the password than reinstalling?
thanks.
GNU GRUB version 1.0(11)2 (631K lower / 2096128K upper memory)
0: Cisco IPS
1: Cisco IPS Recovery
Model=IPS-4240
When you troubleshoot password recovery, pay attention to the following:
• You cannot determine whether password recovery has been disabled in the sensor configuration
from the ROMMON prompt, GRUB menu, switch CLI, or router CLI. If you attempt password
recovery, it always appears to succeed. If it has been disabled, the password is not reset to cisco.
The only option is to reimage the sensor.

Hi,
Before recovering you can 1st check the current state of password recovery with using this command: show settings | include password
If you do password recovery without checking the recovery feature that it enabled or disabled than the password can not be set to cisco (It will show succeed) and you need to reimage the sensor. So, before using password recovery you should check that password recovery is allowed or not.

Password Recovery on NM-CIDS

Password Recovery when Break is disabled.

I posted up previously about this issue.
I have a Cisco 2500 router and I'm trying to disable or bypass the password. I've learned that Break is disabled. I've been told you can jumper some pins on the circuit board. Can someone tell me what pins need to be jumpered so I can get to configuration mode?

I found this:
Step 1 Attach a terminal or PC with terminal emulation software to the console port of the router.
Step 2 Enter the show version command and record the setting of the configuration register. It is usually 0x2102 or 0x102.
The configuration register value is on the last line of the display. Note whether the configuration register is set to enable Break or disable Break.
The factory-default configuration register value is 0x2102. Notice that the third digit from the left in this value is 1, which disables Break. If the third digit is not 1, Break is enabled.
Step 3 Turn off the router, then turn it on.
Step 4 Press the Break key on the terminal within 60 seconds of turning on the router.
The rommon> prompt with no router name appears. If it does not appear, the terminal is not sending the correct Break signal. In that case, check the terminal or terminal emulation setup.
Step 5 Enter o/r0x42 at the rommon> prompt to boot from Flash memory or o/r0x41 to boot from the boot ROMs.
Here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080347975.html
Check it out.
You can change the configuration register from configuration mode using the config-register command.
There is a SERVICE command to disable password recovery (as a physical security issue). If this has been set on your router, then you'll need to send it to Cisco for a motherboard swap / fix.
Good Luck

IOS AP Password Recovery

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to recover the username/password whilst keeping the existing config and not defaulting the AP.

The AP has a Cat 2900 style bootloader, not a
router style rommon. So you don't get
config-register; however you do have similar
functionality. See http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat2970/12218se/2970cr/bootldr.htm
for (fairly close) documentation.
To do password recovery on an IOS AP, without
losing your config, do something like this:
1. Connect to the console
2. Power cycle the AP (or otherwise induce it to reload)
3. Hit on the console real fast, a couple of times
4. Get to the bootloader ("ap:") prompt
5. Now rename the config.txt file to something else (ap: rename flash:config.txt flash:config.foo)
6. Now continue booting
7. The old config will be in flash:config.txt
Should work, although it may not, depending on the bootloader version.

Cisco 3945 password recovery

I observed two cisco 3945 routers lose IOS during password recovery. Router was rebooted, break sequence ctrl-break, then boot(instead of reset) issued. The router booted to its existing configuration or password recovery failed and router was power cycled again then ctrl-break issued. However this time the IOS was gone and all flash file systems were blank! It happened on two routers. Anyone know why such an anomaly would occur or has anyone witnessed such?

config register was set to confreg 0X2142 first time password recovery was attempted. It took but only after the power cycle(not when I simply typed boot) but by then the IOS images were gone. I found that very disturbing when it happened on two different routers and I never saw such a thing happen to a router before.

Blackberry ID - forgot password, forgot password recovery info, exceeded login attempts, why can't BB send me email to reset password.

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
Overview
To change the BlackBerry ID password, complete the steps below for the specific device:
From the BlackBerry 10 smartphone:
Swipe down from the top bezel on the home screen and select Settings.
Scroll down and select BlackBerry ID.
Select Change Password.
Enter the current password in the Current BlackBerry ID Password field.

Select Submit to complete the password change.
To confirm the change You have changed your password will be displayed.
Also, if the BlackBerry ID password has been forgotten, select Forgot Password on the smartphone and answer the recovery question to generate a password reset email. Follow KB28685 to complete this process.
Note: When using the recovery question password reset method, the generated email will be delivered to the BlackBerry 10 smartphone if the BlackBerry ID email address has been setup via Settings >Accounts
From a computer:
Visit http://www.bbid.com/ from a PC or BlackBerry smartphone browser.
Click Log in.
Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and password, then click Sign In.
Click Account Details.

Enter in the current password, followed by the new password. Enter the new password again in the confirm password field, then click Save.
Click Done to exit from the BlackBerry ID account information screens.
From the BlackBerry smartphone running BlackBerry 6:
Navigate to Options > Third Party Applications > BlackBerry ID.
Click on Change next to BlackBerry ID Password.
Enter in the current password, followed by the new password. Enter the new password again in the confirm password field, then click OK.
A confirmation message will display Your password has been successfully changed.
Click OK.

To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, login to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field.  For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow  KB34137.
To generate a password reset email, complete the following:
Browse to the following URL using a desktop browser, the 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. (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.
Login to the email account associated to the BlackBerry ID using the desktop browser, BlackBerry Browser on the BlackBerry 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 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.
Note: Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed.
A confirmation message will display once the changes have been saved successfully.
Moving forward use the newly created password whenever logging into BlackBerry ID.
Note: If the BlackBerry ID email address is a BlackBerry mail address (e.g. <username>@tmo.blackberry.net), the BlackBerry ID password reset email will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone. Since the BlackBerry mail address is not accessible from a computer, the steps outlined in KB28111 will need to be performed.
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.
THANK 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.
