Sorry, NO option to recover password recovery without CD.

Gagan is correct, the recovery is not possible with the CD.

A couple of questions/suggestions:

- Is this for a physical or virtual deployment?

- Are you able to get the ISO and make yourself your own DVD/CD or bootable USB stick?

Thank you for rating helpful posts!

I have ISO image. Can I make a bootable DVD of this ISO image and recover the password.

[Gagandeep Singh]

Yes, you can.

Step 1 Power up the appliance. Step 2 Insert the ACS 5.5 recovery DVD. boot: To reset the administrator password, at the system prompt, enter 3 if you are using a keyboard and video monitor, or enter 4 if you are using a serial console port.

Hi Gagandeep,

Can you suggest further on this.

[Gagandeep Singh]

Did you try any other recovery ISO. I would suggest to burn image on some other recovery DVD.

See if that makes any difference because we can't retrieve password without it.

Hi Gagan,

Can you share the link from where we can download the recovery ISO.
