ASA decrypt

[CameronTaylor25069]

Hello all,

I made a mistake configuring a Cisco ASA5525, where I listed the password as "ecrypted", but pasted the password as clear text. Is there anyway I can find out what it would've been "decrypted" to so I can login to the device?

Thank you in advance!

if you pasted a clear text password, you try the same password to login? ( copy and paste when you asked for password ?) 

or if not work, show us what you have done to understand better.

I tried doing that as well. Here is the command I put in, where I marked a clear text password as "encrypted"

username Admin password AdminPass encrypted privilege 15

You will need to do a password recovery.

Boot into ROMMON and change the confreg value to 0x41 and then boot the system...as follows:

rommon> confreg 0x41

rommon> boot

Once in the ASA CLI change the password and then set the confreg to 0x1

ASA#configure terminal

ASA(config)# config-register 0x1

ASA(config)# end

ASA# write

ASA# reload
