To change the password. If you want to recover, you need to boot the NCS image and then do a password recovery.

I have a Cisco NCS57C148Q6SYS7C1 that I don't have the password to. I'm using a hp elite book to console into. The laptop has no physical break button so I used the fn+r command but it didn't work. I tried a Panasonic Toughbook CF-35, still no luck! I also used putty break signals with no success to password recover it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
