Hi Marius,

I think u need to have a CD with boot image for password recovery. See this URL. It has a brief explanation for recovering the password of IDS

You can recover password via console. At the time of booting you can pick the recovery partition from the LILO boot menu. This will force reimage of the application partition, setting the userid and password back to the default cisco account. The drawback here is you loose all the custom sigs and signature tuning which the sensor might have had prior to recovering the application partition.

Hi Mariusz,

I was studying CCSP extensively about 2 years ago. I did get my CISSP and now want to do the CCSP. I'd like to keep in touch. Email me at aggieman@implicitmethods.com to take this offline.
