Recovering a Lost Password

You can recover a lost enable password, but an enable secret password is encrypted and is not
recoverable. If you lose an enable secret password that is configured on your router, you can replace it
with a new enable secret password.
For password recovery and replacement procedures for the Cisco 2600 series routers, refer to the
Password Recovery Procedure for the Cisco 2600 Series Routers
