I would have rebuilt just to be on the safe side. It's rare that only the filename itself gets corrupted without the file contents getting corrupted as well.
As we said back in my CCNA days, it's better to be safe than sorry. Christopher J.

(Merged 2 into 1) - Me From: Eldridge, Dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 08:35 hrs To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT Cisco switch password recovery OffTopic: I have this posted elsewhere but I know there's some Cisco smarts here. I had to do a pw recovery on a couple of 3750's and when I went to rename the config.text.old file back to config.text I showed the following dir flash: Directory of flash:/ 2 -rwx 6443 Mar 8 1993 23:12:38 +00:00 config.old^[[D^[[D^[[Dtext.old 3 -rwx 5 Mar 8 1993 23:12:38 +00:00 private-config.text 4 -rwx 3976 May 4 1993 23:55:00 +00:00 vlan.dat 6 drwx 192 Mar 1 1993 00:09:33 +00:00 c3750-ipbase-mz.122-35.SE5 Something must have gotten corrupt in the first reboot but I still should have been able to rename the file anyway. This is what I was getting. rename flash:config.old^[[D^[[D^[[Dtext.old flash:config.text Destination filename [config.text]? %Error renaming flash:config.old^[[D^[[D^[[Dtext.old to flash:config.text (No such file or directory) I was pressed for time so I had to rebuild the config.
