ASR 1002-x Password Recovery

[telpageemporia1]

I tried following the password recovery as outlined in https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr1000/install/guide/asr1routers/asr-1000-series-hig/asr-hig-tbl.pdf

I am using putty, I power cycled the router and used the special options menu to insert a break. I tried this four times before giving up. Each time, the router just went on booting normally. How can I bypass booting nvram and change the password?

If you have backup config and some one set "no password-recovery". it tough but it can be done also below method.

Other way is you can do factory reset and restore the config.

The second link is completely useless, as the device shown in the "solution" is NOT at ASR1002X
