To all:
We have a Cisco Catalyst 4224 switch/router and I fat fingered the enable secret password while changing it. I am now locked out of privledged mode. My problem gets worse, when I attempt a passoword recovery on the box and interupt its boot process the machine hangs at the Rommon prompt. I can power down/up and it will boot properly it I don't interupt it. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
PG
Hi Phil,
Try this:
set authorization exec enable if-authenticated none console set authorization exec enable if-authenticated none telnet
Should be your enable secret password that you have configured on your switch.
-------------------------------------
Also you may wish to investigate Solarwinds - How to reset an enable secret password via SNMP.
Ever mistype a password.... or have the only person that knows the passwords go on vacation or quit .... ?
The SolarWinds Config Uploader can easily reset any login or enable password on a Cisco router or switch. You do not need to know the password, just the router/switch's SNMP read-write community string.
-------------------------------------
Encrypted passwords you can feed into the Boson GetPass Utility to receive the unencrypted version:

Hope this helps.
