We've a 6509 with a config without enable user.
When we trie to skip the config (in rommon confreg 0x2142) in order to get a clean running config so we can copy the originate config
in running and then to set the enable passord the router starts up with the config in bootflash (where we doesn't have a user....
rommon 5 > dir bootflash:
Directory of bootflash:/
1 -rw- 25205200 Jul 31 2007 12:10:01 +02:00 c6sup22-dsv-mz.121-26.E8.bin
2 -rw- 1861272 Jul 31 2007 12:15:53 +02:00 c6msfc2-boot-mz.121-26.E8.bin

rommon 6 > set

CONFIG_FILE=bootflash:AAA-BBB.XXX.cfg

BSI=0
RET_2_RCALTS=
?=1
rommon 7 > confreg 0x2142
rommon 8 > reset
We've tried it over an over but the config would not skip.
Anyone a suggestion ??

Thanks for your reply, I think you mean:
"The router reboots. However, it ignores its saved configuration due to the fact that the configuration register is set to 0x2142.
If you see that the router configuration is still present (still previous hostname), it indicates that the configuration register was not changed to 0x2142 in time prior to the crash.
If this is the case, start over again (Step 4, Power down and then power up the router with the help of the power switch.).
If the configuration register is correctly changed to 0x2142, you get the initial configuration questions after the reload. "
We've tried it over and over, and still it doesn't work....

Hello,
If setting the configuration register to 0x2142 does not help, try to rename the file AAA-BBB.XXX.cfg in your bootflash: filesystem to a different name (if that's possible using the ROMMON), or redefine the CONFIG_FILE environment variable to a different nonexistent file. That will hopefully make the device to skip loading the configuration and end up with the default settings.
Best regards,
Peter

Thanks for your reply,
Allready tried CONFIG_FILE=bootflash:CCC.DDD.XXX.cfg (non-existing file in bootflash:)
a rename you can't do in rommon:
rommon 2 > ?
alias set and display aliases command
break set/show/clear the breakpoint
confreg configuration register utility
cont continue executing a downloaded image
dev list the device table
dir list files in file system
dis disassemble instruction stream
frame print out a selected stack frame
help monitor builtin command help
history monitor command history
meminfo main memory information
repeat repeat a monitor command
reset system reset
set show all monitor variables
unalias unset an alias
boot boot up an external process
context display the context of a loaded image
stack produce a stack trace
sync write monitor environment to NVRAM
sysret print out info from last system return
tscope timer scope loop
sleep sleep command
xmodem x/y modem download

Can you try just entering "confreg" at the ROMMON prompt and then answering all the questions you get after that.
