Enter the privileged EXEC command configure terminal to enter configuration
mode:
Hostname# configure terminal
Change all three passwords using the following commands:
Hostname(config)# enable secret newpassword1
Hostname(config)# enable password newpassword2
Hostname(config)# line con 0
Hostname(config-line)# password newpassword3
Change only the passwords necessary for your configuration. You can remove
individual passwords by using the no form of the above commands. For
example, entering the no enable secret command removes the enable secret
password.
You must configure all interfaces to be not administratively shut down as
follows:
Hostname(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0
Hostname(config-int)# no shutdown
Enter the equivalent commands for all interfaces that were originally configured.
If you omit this step, all interfaces are administratively shut down and
unavailable when the router is restarted.
Use the config-register command to set the configuration register to the original
value noted in Step 3 or Step 7, or to the factory default value 0x2102 as follows:
Hostname(config)# config-register 0x2102
Press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) or enter end to exit
configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter.
Do not execute the next step unless you have changed or replaced a password. If
Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the new
configuration to NVRAM.
