Description Since the Cisco 1020 router is often not physically secured, to perform a password recovery you must call Cisco Systems or your distribution channel and provide a Cisco 1020 router generated challenge. Using the override program, the support representative can provide a one-time password you can use to enter enable mode. Notes: 2.Provide the support representative with the challenge. 3.On the 1020 console, log in with username enable and use the response as the password. 4.Type wr t to see the existing password or type conf t to change the password.
This document describes how to recover a password on a Cisco 1020 router.
Overrides can be done only from the console.
