I need to access a CPA2509 Cisco router, but I don't have the passwords. How can I break into it? easiest and fastest way possible, thank you in advance.
Reboot router, and during the boot up you must hit the ctrl+break keys to break the boot sequence. Then you will be in RMON> mode. Type the following commands:
o/r 0x42
i (for initialize)
Router will boot up and have no configutation on it. Type the following commands else lose your config.
router> en
router# config mem
(You will see a different prompt come back as you have just loaded the startup-config into DRAM)
ROUTER# config t
ROUTER(config)# enable secret (enter password here)
ROUTER(config)# config-register 0x2102
ROUTER(config)# end
ROUTER# wr mem
ROUTER# reload
Your password has now been changed.
