  About Your Passwords

For Cisco MCS 7835-I1-RC1 and Cisco MCS 7835I-3.0-IPC1, the file is called 
MCS7835IRecoveryBootImage.iso

For Cisco MCS 7835-H1-RC1 and Cisco MCS 7835H-3.0-IPC1, the file is called 
MCS7835HRecoveryBootImage.iso

Step 2

Burn a CD-ROM with the recovery CD image file. The file must be burned as a CD image and not as a 
regular file, or else it will not work.

Step 3

Go to the Cisco MCS server where your Cisco MeetingPlace Express application is loaded.

Step 4

Insert the CD-ROM that you just burned into the Cisco MCS server CD-ROM drive.

Step 5

Reboot the server.

Step 6

At the prompt, enter 

linux single

. This tells the server to boot up in single user mode.

Step 7

At the prompt, enter 

/root/.security/unimmunize.sh

.

Step 8

At the prompt, enter 

passwd root

. This tells the server to set a new password for the user called root.

Step 9

At the New password: prompt, enter a new password. For security purposes, the password is displayed 
as asterisks.

Note

You may see a message that the password you entered is bad. Ignore this message.

Step 10

At the Retype new password: prompt, re-enter the same password again.

Step 11

At the prompt, enter 

/root/.security/immunize.sh

.

Step 12

At the prompt, enter 

eject

.

This ejects the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive.

Step 13

At the prompt, enter 

reboot

. This reboots the server.

The Cisco MeetingPlace Express operating system login page is displayed.

Step 14

At the username prompt, enter 

root

.

Step 15

At the password prompt, enter the new password that you created in 

Step 9

.

The system should display the Cisco MeetingPlace Express operating system desktop.

Recovering the mpxadmin Password

Note

Follow this same procedure to 

change

 the mpxadmin password, too.

If you forget the password that you created for the mpxadmin account, follow these steps to reset it:

Procedure

Step 1

Log in to the Cisco MeetingPlace Express operating system as the 

root

 user.

Step 2

At the password prompt, enter the root password. (If you have forgotten the root password, first follow 
the steps in the 

“Recovering the root Password” section on page 6-1

.)

The Cisco MeetingPlace Express operating system desktop appears.
