Can anyone tell me how to get this password. I really need to find out what was used.

Just before I change it both ends.

It's impossible to recover it as far as I'm aware, all you can do is delete the tunnel and recreate it with a different shared secret.

Write your config to a tftp server using the "write net" command. The isakmp key will be in plain text in the config file.

How does one delete the tunnel in the cli? I tried "no isakmp ..." for a specific line, but that didn't work. There are two tunnels, and I don't want to delete both and have to drive several hours to a router with no remote access capability.

I deleted it by writing
no [line as shown in config]
the password was still in ******* form, but it took it an only deleted that single line.
