More to the point: You can get in, say no when it asks you if you want
to use the wizard, type enable, hit return for the password. Then you
can load the current config from flash (copy mem current-config, maybe?
I forget) and then do "enable password foo" and "enable secret foo" as
well as "user foo password foo" or what have you, depending on your
security mode.
For everyone else's information: If you want the document with password
recovery techniques, search on (you guessed it) "password recovery
techniques" on CCO.
