Is there anyway to recover from this? The config was already saved so reboot will not take me to previous state.</P><P></P><P>config term</P><P>crypto key generate rsa modulas 1024</P><P>ip ssh version 2</P><P>line vty 0 4</P><P>transport input ssh</P><P>password xyz</P><P></P><P>On PIX/ASA when there is no username defined, the default username is cisco. However cisco username doesn't seem to work on this router. What are my options for recovery at this point other than router passwor recovery process?</P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P><P>Sam</P> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 22:36:23 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/default-username-for-ssh-on-the-routers/m-p/1920588#M458699 smunzani 2019-03-11T22:36:23Z Default username for ssh on the routers https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/default-username-for-ssh-on-the-routers/m-p/1920589#M458704 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The line vty commands only affect remote access. Login on console and add the username from that input locale. If you have "ip http server" setup you can use that as a third access method via which you can change the configuration.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:42:35 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/default-username-for-ssh-on-the-routers/m-p/1920589#M458704 Marvin Rhoads 2012-02-29T16:42:35Z Default username for ssh on the routers https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/default-username-for-ssh-on-the-routers/m-p/1920590#M458710 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have http disabled now but console is a way.
