ACS 5.5 Password Recovery but we do not have the recovery CD

[kmblanco8]

Hi Guys,

Good day! We need to recover CLI admin password but we do not have the recovery CD and ACS version 5.5 is already EOL, thus, ISO is not available for download. Kindly confirm if we can use 5.8 ISO instead. 

Thank you very much.

technically it should work any ISO, i do not see any issue here. since you are getting into Linxus shell changing the password.

if you are more concerned, then google I am sure you will find the same ISO image.
