Password recovery on ASR 1006

[Amos Kafwembe]

Hi all,

I am trying to perform a password recovery on a Cisco ASR 1006, I can ctrl + break and set the register to 0x2142, i then power cycle it, but it keeps booting back into the 0x2102 register. is there anything different about this device?

Some smart a$$ must've enabled "no password-recovery".  Can you inspect the appliance and see if there is a tiny "RESET" button available? 

If there is none, then you need to read (carefully) THIS.

This problem should be redundant routing engine. Pull one engine out and try again would be solve this problem.
