Hi there, My friend bought a Cisco 751 Router from a company and the company does not the password. The cisco site gives a step by step instructions; however, I am not sure what they mean 'by reloading original software' and where I download it since my friends does not have any software. It is somewhat confusing. I did not have any problem recovering the password on Cisco 1601 Router. How do I go about doing it. I have alredy copied the 750erase.hex file. Any help is appreciated.
SP Here is the link: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/474/pswdrec_700.html Step-by-Step Procedure Power cycle the router. While it is booting up, press the ESC key a couple of times. This puts the unit into a software load mode. The unit will respond with the following prompts: Ready to upload new firmware into flash. Baud (1=19.2K, 2=2400, 3=38.4K, 9=9600)? Select the baud rate for the transfer (in this example, 9600 is chosen). The unit will respond with the following prompt: Begin ascii upload at 8n1/9600 baud. Start the ascii file transfer of the image: 750erase.hex for the 750 series or 760erase.hex for the 760 and 770 series. These files are not interchangeable. This file must be treated as a text file for loading into the unit via the console port. At 9600, the transfer takes approximately 12 minutes. While the transfer takes place, the LINE LED flashes rapidly. When the transfer is complete, the unit responds with the following prompts and then reboots itself: Firmware transfer successful. Now writing firmware into FLASH, standby ... Firmware upload complete. Erase Version of 750/760 firmware. This will erase all configured parameters ERASING NVRAM... !--- unit reboots itself Ready to upload new firmware into flash.
