so my boss thought he would be slick and change the router login

of course he forgot it a week later

so now i can't make necessary changes

i'd reset the thing with pleasure, but there are so many customized settings on the thing it'd take at least a day to figure it all out again.......and we can't have downtime.

i hate stupid people

11/24/2007 3:45:56 PM

i actually had it backed up at one point

apparently he thought there was a need to delete that, too

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR PUNCH-HIM-IN-THE-FACE MAN!

there is a way to get into a router even if you forget the password and be able to save the config file and again set the new password

11/26/2007 11:04:55 AM

if he knows his login name you can run a password cracker on it

"Here are the main steps to password recovery for a cisco router: 1. Boot the router and interrupt the boot sequence by performing a break. 2. Change the configuration register to turn on bit 6 (with the value 0x2142). 3. Reload the router. 4. Enter privileged mode. 5. Copy the startup-config file to running-config. 6. Change the password. 7. Reset the configuration register to the default value. 8. Save the router configuration. 9. Reload the router."

refer any ccna book

oh

well at least you could rebuild at night

if it's not a cisco router

chances are the configuration isn't that complicated

plus if your network is set up correctly it should grab routing tables from your other routers via RIP

11/26/2007 9:22:06 PM

yea, I mean, I can deal with it. I'd just rather not.

Oh well.
