To change the password phrase
=========================
You can use Adminutility tool to reset the Private password phrase, this tool only runs on
the Publisher and needs to be done after hours since it stops services; here is the path
and the steps to run it.
C:\ProgramFiles\Cisco\Bin\adminutility.exe
Log into the utility as Administrator and select the very top checkbox to select all
accounts. Then go to Options and Set new password
It will ask you for the password phrase, and the tool will run, everything keeps working
fine after the tool finishes.

Pix 525 6.3 Password Recovery shuts down TFTP server

I noticed that everytime I try to run the password recovery procedure to retrieve the np63.bin file from my tftp server, the pix hangs and the tftp app shuts down completely. I am investigating but if any one knows off the top,,I would appreciate the sharing.

I got it...I'm not sure what it was but as soon as I plugged both inside and outside interfaces in that allowed the file to be received. I guess that's the way it works. The document must presume you know this.
The "Duhs" have it! Motion passed!!

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 EVEN ON YOUTUBE BLACKBERRY ARE RUNNING AN OUT OF DATE SOLUTION CENTRE.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.

Enter the new password in the New BlackBerry ID Password and Confirm New Passwordfields.
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.
Next to Password, click Edit.
Enter in the current password, followed by the new password. Enter the new password again in the confirm password field, then click Save.

If the password for a BlackBerry ID account has been forgotten and the login is unsuccessful, use the following process to reset the password.
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, 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.

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.

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!
-Mike

Well 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.

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.

I have not been recieving e-mails from certain websites, such as password recovery e-mails, while when using others they come quite quickly?

I am unsure if this is an issue with xfinity or comcast, my mail server, ect. I have a limited knowledge on technology, though I'm learning more every day, and I'd love any help! Thank you!

Thank you for the answer, Airmail! I have done so before, but the e-mails do not end up there either. Perhaps it is an issue with cookies or something? I have everything set to private so as to keep things clean, but I downloaded Google Chrome without any settings edited and e-mails still don't come through there either!
For example, even from the same websites, I can recieve a password recovery e-mail immediately but a verification e-mail never comes.

DS6, Admin password recovery

Managed to misplace our "admin" password for logging into DSCC web interface. Is there a way to recover it?
I searched the forum and someone said that it is a security violation. I understand that. But I also believe that there are legitimate reasons for password recovery. The whole process can be secured so that it is not trivial and requires certain knowledge to ensure proper use, such as physical access to the server etc.
Thanks,

Do you have your password for cn=Directory Manager?
If so, you can bind as Directory Manager, and overwrite (reset) the userPassword attribute for any entry you like.
You can also manually edit dse.ldif to change the password for cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config or cn=Directory Manager:
- Stop your directory server.
- Make a backup copy of your dse.ldif file.
- Edit dse.ldif and change the userPassword attribute on cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config. Or, for cn=Directory Manager, change the nsslapd-rootpw attribute. You can use cleartext for the password temporarily, but remember to change it again later via an LDAP connection, so it will be hashed.
- Restart the server.

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:

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.

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.

~JG

3548 password recovery, of sorts

I have a 3548XL which I believe is running 12.0(5.2)XU. Apparently this switch used to be setup to auth against tacacs or something similar, but that appears to be broken now...
If I try to telnet to it, I get '% Authentication failed.' and the telnet session is closed.
If I try to console into it, I get:
3y9w: %AAAA-4-SERVUNDEF: The server-group "radius" is not defined. Please define it.
3y9w: %AAAA-3-BADREG: Illegal registry call.
-Traceback= 1198C0 11EF60 13B3E4 13BDA4 166FF4 1D0CCC
Note the uptime.. 3 years, wow.
Should I just do the standard 'hold in the mode button' password recovery, or is there a more graceful way to recover from this?

Just do a normal password recovery

MediaSmart server password

I had to do a Factory reset on my HP MediaSmart Server using the recovery disk, but cannot install the Server Console or connector software on my W7 64 bit system because it's not compatible.
I see the serveron my PC and when I try to open it it's asking me for a password. Since the server is connected via network cable on a "local area connection" and not wirelessly, I assume the password needed is a "server" password and not the network password.
What credential/password do I enter here when initially logging on to the server???

Hello Dcypher64.
Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand your HP MediaSmart server is asking for a password. I'll see what I can do for, providing the best information I can.
I have used a MediaSmart server before. Normally, the password required is "administrator" password. You should be able to enter this password and access the server.
If this does not worked, the server may have to be reset or recovered. These are different than your standard computer so troubleshooting is not as simple. However, HP does possess documents on server recoveries and factory resets. Trying the steps in this document should assist you in resetting the server to a usable point: Using Server Recovery and Factory Reset
This document is particular to the EX470 and EX475 MediaSmart servers, but the steps should be the same. If you would like to provide the exact model of your server, I can find more accurate information. Irregardless, the above information should be enough to resolve the issue. Either way, please post your results.
Thank you for bringing this issue to the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Does password recovery procedure on CM allow you into GUI?

I have a customer with 3 WAAS appliances and a CM running WAAS 4.1.3a. The customer has lost their network engineer and they do not have the admin passwords. I can telnet to the CLI of all devices but I am trying to access the CM GUI and don't get privileged access with my account. The CM has 2 accounts showing in the config, the admin account and another which is specific to this customer. Both have privilege 15 but I don't know the password to either. The primary authentication mechanisms for login and configuration are set to tacacs with the secondary set to local. I am able to login to the command line using a support account that we have the password for so it appears that tacacs is working but if I use this account on the GUI it logs me in but does not give me privileged access to the GUI. I think I read somewhere that the GUI uses a different authentication mechanism and to get privileged access to the GUI the account has to be created within the GUI. Is that right?
Unfortunately I don't have access to the tacacs server and we don't look after it so I can't just change the admin password in the tacacs server.
With the support account I have on the CLI, when I try to change the admin account password it says:
waas-cm(config)#username admin passwd
Warning: User configuration performed via CLI may be overwritten
by the central manager. Please use the central manager to configure
user accounts.
New WAAS password:
If I try to login to the GUI using the new password I set then it doesn't work but I am not sure if that is because it is trying to use tacacs to authenticate the GUI or because the CM over-wrote it.
I found the password recovery/change procedure but I wasn't sure if this would help me get into the GUI or just the cli. If I reload the box and follow the procedure to change the admin password then will this change the password used by the GUI? Should I be concentrating on the CM or focussing on the tacacs server which isn't in this site and which I don't look after? If I change the admin password using the recovery procedure and then remove the tacacs config then will I be able to get into the GUI using the new admin password? Any other suggestions of what I can do?
Thanks

Tim,
Since you have CLI access to the CM, why not telnet/ssh to the CM remove the TACACS configuration temporarily so users aren't check against TACACS when you try to login to the CM GUI. Then since you don't know the admin password you could change it via the CLI command you previously used, and then try to login to the CM GUI with that admin account.
Once you have the known admin account you can reconfigure your TACACS configuration as it was before.
Now I suspect the reason you were able to login to the CM GUI with the support account, but you had no privileges was because this support user or the group in TACACS it belongs to was not defined in the CM GUI under Admin -> AAA -> Users. Since the TACACS server in this case does the authentication, but the authorization to view certain pages within the CM GUI is done on the CM itself. So, it is required to have the user or the group defined in the CM GUI with the appropriate role(s) associated to that object.
Once you define this support user account within the CM GUI it too should have access when TACACS is enabled. Here are the steps I would take:
Log into your CM via SSH/Telent with your TACACS user
credentials. Once in here do the following:
NC-WAAS-CM(config)#no authentication fail-over server-unreachable
NC-WAAS-CM(config)#authentication login local enable primary
NC-WAAS-CM(config)#authentication login tacacs enable secondary
Log into the CM GUI with the local WAE credentials (admin, ).
Go to Admin -> AAA -> Users -> Add a user -> Specify the support username
you added to your TACACS server and click Submit (no need to change any other
fields) -> Select Role Management -> Assign this user the admin role (or
whichever custom role(s) you have defined) and click submit.
Back on the CLI:
NC-WAAS-CM(config)#authentication login local enable secondary
NC-WAAS-CM(config)#authentication login tacacs enable primary
NC-WAAS-CM(config)#authentication fail-over server-unreachable
Log out of the CM GUI, and try to log back in with your TACACS credentials.
Here is the configuration guide section on user accounts and groups which may help explain in more detail.

I do not get an email after password recovery

I do not get an email after password recovery

10/26/13 I have tried several times to no avail today. Oddly, the password was saved under my main email addree to get into the forum but I can not get downloads to download.
Is there an issue with Apple server responding to sending password recovery to my main email address today?
