No local user created after aaa configs applied and devices rebooted

[sjulien80]

Let say we are using IOS-XE image 17.16.1

We applied aaa-new model (tacas for user auth) configuration and we forgot to create local user account and password on the device, then we reload the device.

What are the rollback options:

Knowing that rommon mode with password recovery, boot from usb or tftp won't work.

Please let me know you though?

Thanks

Try to connect via console during boot.

If prompted with setup dialog, answer "no" to avoid re-enabling AAA, then manually create a local user:

#enable
#configure terminal
#username admin secret <password>
#no aaa new-model ! Temporarily disable AAA
#write memory

Thanks!
