Replacing or Recovering a Lost Password
Caution Do not execute the next step unless you have changed or replaced a password. If you skipped Step 12
through Step 15, skip to Step 19. Failure to observe this caution will cause you to erase your router
configuration file.
Step 18 Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the new configuration to NVRAM.
Step 19 Enter the reload command to reboot the router.
Step 20 Log in to the router with the new or recovered passwords.
This completes the steps for recovering or replacing a lost enable, enable secret, or console login
password.
