RE: Re[2]: cisco acl

["Keith Pachulski" <keithp () corp ptd net>]

Break System
Attach a console to the router.
Power down the router and then power on.
Within the first 30 seconds send a "break" to the router (different emulators may have different methods to do this).
You should now have either a ">" prompt or a "rommon 1>" prompt.
Confreg  0x2142
thep i
hit enter

 Wait for the router to finish reloading. Do not enter the configuration dialog (i.e. answer no to enter or <ctrl-c>).
 Enable
 Show config

If enable and vty passwords are not encrypted:
 config mem
 conf t
 config-register 0x2102
 <ctrl-z>
 reload

When prompted to save the configuration, say no.
Press enter to continue reloading.

If enable passwords are encrypted:
config mem
conf t
enable {secret  |  password}  <password>
line vty 0 4
password <password2>
config-register  0x2102
<ctrl-z>
write mem
reload
press enter to continue reloading

thanks for all the replies.
and i am aware of the 3 given possibilities.
but i thought maybe someone on the list has some quick answer as
well?!? and as it is a little urgent i just wanted to give it a try!

Unfortunately I do not know the new password! otherwise there wouldn't
be a problem at all.
and more unfortunately it is not my network and had nothing to do with
the setup.  or else i would have, as Mort pointed out, a tftp in
place.
