I bought a 1700 router on E-bay and I don't know it's password, I got a proggie that will supposedly decrypt the level 7 password if you now the incrypted one. where can I find the incrypted password in the global user mode?
 
Not sure what you mean by 'Global User mode'

If you mean Privileged exec mode (ENA from a '>' prompt , which brings up '#') then enter SH Ru (Show Running Config) then all the encrypted passwords are shown - Usernames are shown in the top section before the interfaces.

If this isn't of help then you will have to reset the password using 'Recovering a Lost password' Section of the 'Troubleshooting the Cisco 1700' chapter in the Cisco Documentation CD or

and then look at the config.

Hope this helps.
