Recovering a Lost Administrator Password
If an administrator password is forgotten, lost, or misconfigured, you will need to reset the password on
the device.
Note There is no way to restore a lost administrator password. You must reset the password to a new one, as
described in this procedure.
To reset the password, do the following:
Step 1 Establish a console connection to the device and open a terminal session.
Step 2 Reboot the device.
While the device is rebooting, watch for the following prompt and press Enter when you see it:
Cisco CDS boot:hit RETURN to set boot flags:0009
Step 3 When prompted to enter bootflags, enter the 0x800 value.
Available boot flags (enter the sum of the desired flags):
0x4000 - bypass nvram config
0x8000 - disable login security
[SE boot - enter bootflags]:0x8000
You have entered boot flags = 0x8000
Boot with these flags? [yes]:yes
[Display output omitted]
Setting the configuration flags to 0x8000 lets you into the system, bypassing all
security. Setting the configuration flags field to 0x4000 lets you bypass the NVRAM
configuration.
