Hi Vikas, Since you havent gotten a reply from anyone, let me help out here. Cisco uses a numbering convention to designate different release of the IOS. The number in parentheses (9 - in the case of your qs) is the maintenanace level which represents periodic revisions to the major release(11.3 - in your qs). If the number is followed by a letter in some cases, it represents an early deployment or ED release... if no number follows the IOS version number, the release is considered to be general deployment or GD release. I guess ED is for select customers and in limited environments and if featured introduced in an ED release proves stable, they may be incorporated into a GD. I have a router with 11.3(7)T ED Release. On pwd recovery, after doing all you did and enabling secret, u probably restore the configuration register to boot from NVRAM using 0x2102 and definitely save changes (write mem) to replect on reload, reload router and you're good-to-go. Hope my 2 cents helps.
