Hello,
I tried the steps mentioned in the links below:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps663/products_password_recovery09186a00800945f7.shtml
http://www-tss.cisco.com/eservice/compass/common/activities/password_1700.htm
http://www-tss.cisco.com/eservice/compass/common/activities/password_cat_6000CatOS.htm the other similar resolutions on the cisco/other website but none of them works for the Cisco 4506 switch I have.
1. Reboot
2. Press the "CTRL + C" button on the laptop to put the router into ROMMON mode.
Result: Works fine and gets into the ROMMON 1 mode.
3. confreg 0x2142
Result: This one does not work. confreg=0x2142 and that command is accepted by the switch but it does not tell us that we have to restart to make the changes. Now it goes ROMMON 2 mode.
4. reset
Result: I type reset and the switches seems to be power cycled but it again goes to the password prompt which I dont know and this is the password that I am trying to recover or break.
I never get the option to follow the steps after this point.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!!
