cisco router password change
- Thread starter evgeniosc
- Start date
I haven't messed with an 800, but for everything I work on you do this:
You need to be in EXEC mode (#).
for the telnet:
conf t
line vty 0 4
password yourpasswordhere
exit, exit
for the enable:
conf t
enable yourpasswordhere
exit
(you should probably have password encryption turned on, if not use 'enable secret' and it'll scramble it for you).
Now, DONT' QUIT EXEC OR LOGOUT!
I always like to telnet in and get into Exec to make sure I got the passwords right. If you change things then Exec but had something wrong you will be locked out, and have to power cycle the router!
If everything works do a write mem. Hope that helps
