rommon #1> boot
The IPS Reboots and I am asked to select one of two things
I choose the 2nd option which is IPS Recover, I am then booted into Busybox....what are the next steps? THe Cisco documentation stop after it says to type boot??
Cisco instructions
Step 1 Reboot the appliance.
Step 2 To interrupt the boot process, press ESC or Control-R (terminal server) or send a BREAK command (direct connection).
The boot code either pauses for 10 seconds or displays something similar to one of the following:
•Evaluating boot options
•Use BREAK or ESC to interrupt boot
Step 3 Enter the following commands to reset the password.
confreg 0x7
boot
My end game is to reset passwords and reset the IPS to factory defult...any help would be great

Hi Ryan
That should be the end of the story with this you should bypass the password.
If this is not working adn since the main goal is to play around with the IPS in order to certify yourself you can re-image your IPS.
