How to Recover the Passwords: SCOS versions 2.5.5 or later
In SCOS versions 2.5.5 or later, a specific command is available to restore the default passwords.
However, it is important to note that this default password configuration is only temporary. New
passwords should be configured and saved immediately both for security and also so that the unknown
passwords will not be restored in case of system reboot.
Note
This procedure does not affect configuration parameters other then login passwords. It is, therefore, safe
to execute during traffic control.
Step 1
Connect a serial terminal to the ‘AUX’ port at 9600 baud.
Step 2
Press
Enter
so that the prompt appears.
Connects to the SCE platform.
Step 3
At the prompt, type
PSWD_ResetAll
and press
Enter
.
Resets the
enable
passwords.
The following message will appear:
All 'enable' passwords have been reset.
The SCOS is now using the default passwords for all levels. Note that this is a temporary state that is not
preserved after a reboot. Rebooting the SCE platform without changing and saving the passwords will
restore the unknown passwords.
n order to block unauthorized users from connecting to the SCE platform using the default password, a
new password should be configured immediately for all levels for which such a password is required.
The configuration should be saved (use the CLI command
copy running-config startup-config
) to
make the new passwords permanent.
