I am trying to recover the password for Cisco7200 series router followed all the steps ctrl break reached to copy startup config to running config. host name shows up takes me to the prompt for user mode as i try to go into global config mode authorization failed message I am getting. Decrypting the enable secret 5 is hard. Help would be appreciated.

thanks

Before the system prompts you for the username/password, please post the complete output to the command "sh version". 

I've suspect the config registry is still at 0x2102 (instead of 0x2142) because of the hostname.
