Break sequence to recovery Cisco 871 password¿?

ciscolover · ‎02-22-2013

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the break combination to can change the configuration register of a Cisco 871 router and change the password.

I have tried "supr key". Control+supr, Alt+C .

Please help.

Thanks.

Or you could try this:

There's a RESET button at the back of the router.

POWERCYCLE THE ROUTER AND ENTER THE BREAK SEQUENCE

CTRL+BREAK or CTRL+BREAK+F6?

?Power cycle the router, and press the space bar for 15 sec?.

YOU WILL BE IN ROMMON MODE:

rommon 1>confreg 0x2142

rommon 2>reset (if no reset powercycle the router)

YOU WILL BE ASKED TO GET IN THE CONFIGURATION MODE, TYPE NO

Enter in the configuration mode? N

press return go get started

Router>enable (It won?t ask for password, if it does go back to step 1)

Router#show start

HIGHLIGHT EVERYTHING AND MAKE A COPY OF THE CONFIGURATION INTO A NOTEPAD (this is very

important, it?s to do a backup of your configuration, just to have it in case something goes wrong)

Router#copy start run

(destination file run: press enter)

Router#

Router#config t

Router(config)#no enable secret

Router(config)#no enable password

Router(config)#line vty 0 4

Router(config-line)#no login

Router(config-line)#no password

Router(config-line)# exit

Router(config)#line con 0

Router(config-line)#no login

Router(config-line)#no password

Router(config-line)# exit

Router(config)#config-register 0x2102

Router(config)#exit

Router#write mem

Router#show ver **** (make sure that the config register is set to 0x2102)

Router#reload

Confirm with reload? Y
