Kenny The cisco passwords encrypted using Service Password Encryption (type 7) use an encrytion scheme known as Vigenier. Its been around since the 1600 (the date not the router), basically its a replacement algorithm and is easily cracked. The cisco "secret" is an MD5 digest of your password and is uncrackable. However, if you have a copy of the encrypted password you can use a brute force tool to determine the password. Look for a tool called Tomas , and add to the dictionary the most likely passwords that you may have used eg cisco
