Password Help

[Djbell]

Hi All

I have a major problem, I have a Cisco 2500 series Router that I am needing to add some IP address ranges into, the last Administrator wrote down the basic passwords, but unfortuantly he did not write down the Enable secret 5 password, is there anyway to dechypher this password like the enable secret 7 password. The router is also in another part of the country, which means I cant get to it, I do however have a copy of the configuration file with the encrypted password. I have been told that these passwords can be dechyphered.

Regards

Djbell

download their evaluation software, there's a tool within that can do that, just copy your encrypted secret 7 pass to it

Hi Jetter

Thanks for the link but unfortuantly that will not work as I am about 500 miles from the router.

Hi g4j4hgil4

Unfortuantly,its the Enable Secret 5 password I need to decipher, not the secret 7. SO that will not work.

Cheers

I think this was encrypted using md5 cryptography.You really need a good decryption tool to do this. Else this is impossible to decrypt.
