Start the ASDM, go to the COnfig button, scroll down to Device Administration, then Password - this allows you to reset the telnet password.

For backup

or go to the ASDM - Tools, Command Line
and type
sho run

Copy that and it is your config w/o the VPN passwords (they are masked.)

Thank you but it will not reset telnet password, it required the old password, and as I told you I forget it .

Missed that. Here is the password recovery feature. It will allow you to reset the passwords.

The easiest way to “reset” your telnet password (while having access to ASDM) is by going to tools>command line and then using the password command:


password my_new_password

As if you were in configuration mode.
