I need to reset the root password on a Cisco 1242 without
removing the current configuration. Any Ideas?
 
Do you know the current password or are you trying to reset the device?
 
There is a standard procedure to reset the root password that involves changing the boot config that allows you to boot while ignoring the passwords.

If you know this procedure, you are home free, if you don't, this forum doesn't allow this type of information to be shared on the open forum.
