What is the default administration key code to change the setting on the Cisco 1841 router?
When resetting a Cisco 1841 router, the default password recovery and administration key is "confreg 0x2142." This allows you to reset the router with a new configuration.
How do you break password of CISCO router?
Step-by-Step ProcedureFollow these steps in order to recover your password:Attach a terminal or PC with terminal emulation to the console port of the router.Use these terminal settings:9600 baud rateNo parity8 data bits1 stop bitNo flow controlRefer to these documents for information on how to cable and connect a terminal to the console port or the AUX port:Cabling Guide for Console and AUX PortsConnecting a Terminal to the Console Port on Catalyst SwitchesConnect a Terminal to Catalyst 2948G-L3, 4908G-L3, and 4840G Series SwitchesIf you can access the router, type show version at the prompt, and record the configuration register setting. See Example of Password Recovery Procedure in order to view the output of a show version commandNote: The configuration register is usually set to 0x2102 or 0x102. If you can no longer access the router (because of a lost login or TACACS password), you can safely assume that your configuration register is set to 0x2102.Use the power switch in order to turn off the router, and then turn the router back on.Important Notes:In order to simulate this step on a Cisco 6400, pull out and then plug in the Node Route Processor (NRP) or Node Switch Processor (NSP) card.In order to simulate this step on a Cisco 6x00 with NI-2, pull out and then plug in the NI-2 card.Press Break on the terminal keyboard within 60 seconds of power up in order to put the router into ROMMON.If the break sequence does not work, refer to Standard Break Key Sequence Combinations During Password Recovery for other key combinations.Type confreg 0x2142 at the rommon 1> prompt in order to boot from Flash.This step bypasses the startup configuration where the passwords are stored.Type reset at the rommon 2> prompt.The router reboots, but ignores the saved configuration.Type no after each setup question, or press Ctrl-Cin order to skip the initial setup procedure.Type enable at the Router> prompt.You are in enable mode and should see the Router# prompt.Type configure memory or copy startup-config running-config in order to copy the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) into memory.Important: Do not type copy running-config startup-config or write. These commands erase your startup configuration.Type show running-config.The show running-config command shows the configuration of the router. In this configuration, the shutdown command appears under all interfaces, which indicates all interfaces are currently shut down. In addition, the passwords (enable password, enable secret, vty, console passwords) are in either an encrypted or unencrypted format. You can reuse unencrypted passwords. You must change encrypted passwords to a new password.Type configure terminal.The hostname(config)# prompt appears.Type enable secret in order to change the enable secret password. For example:hostname(config)#enable secret ciscoIssue the no shutdown command on every interface that you use.If you issue a show ip interface brief command, every interface that you want to use should display up up.Type config-register . Where configuration_register_setting is either the value you recorded in step 2 or 0x2102 . For example:hostname(config)#config-register 0x2102Press Ctrl-z or end in order to leave the configuration mode.The hostname# prompt appears.Type write memory or copy running-config startup-config in order to commit the changes.
How do you recover the password for a Cisco 2600 router?
First, get yourself a serial cable and access to the console port. When you have that arranged, try to get (unprivileged will do) access to the router's prompt and run a show versioncommand. Record the value of the configuration register. If you can't login, you can assume it's 0x2102.Next, powercycle the router. Within 60 seconds of power on, send a BREAK key down the serial console to put the router into ROMMON mode, which stops it booting IOS.At the prompt rommon 1> type confreg 0x2142 to instruct the router to boot from flash, but not load the startup-config. Type reset next.After the router is restarted it'll ask to go into setup mode, don't do that.Type enable or en.Type copy start run.Type show run . You will see some passwords unencrypted, which you can simply write down. The enable secret, if used, will be encrypted and must be reset.Type conf t .Type enable secret to reset the enable secret to your new password.Issue a no shut for each interface you use.Type config-register 0x2102 (or the value you wrote down earlier)Type end .Type copy run start to save your changes.
