Hi guys,

Is there any way to go into priv mode via ssh not having enable password

Have full ASDM access

Thanks/.

Hi,

If you didn't configure an enable password or any AAA, then yes you can by just hitting enter key after issuing 'enable' command.

If you've got level 15 access in ASDM, you can put the enable password by going to: Configuration > Device Setup > Device > Password.

The issue is that en password has been set but I do not remember it.

Just thought there is some workaround how to get into priv mode taking into account I do have full access via ASDM.

Maybe I setting up AAA would help me I am not sure.

Thanks.

One quick and easy way to fix this would be to login to the ASDM, go to Tools->Command Line Interface and issue the command enable password .

You can also do aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL to use the local username database for SSH access, then aaa authentication enable console LOCAL to use the same password for Enable as you have for your user account.

Hope this helps.
