Al, I appreciate this doesn't pertain to pen-testing exactly, but I hope the expertise of list members may be able to assist me. If you choose not to pass it, I'd quite understand! Thanks. List, I am in the unfortunate (some would say careless) position of not having the password for one of our critical Cisco 2501 Routers. Does anyone know of a way to obtain the password? Wiping the configuration completely is not an option. I have SNMP access to the device, and can also connect via a console cable if necessary. Any assistance *greatly* appreciated! Regards, RI.
