You're gonna have to learn password recovery sooner than later... You normally access the CON port using a rollover cable and a db-9 adapter sent with the router. If you don't have one, let me know and I'll send you a set. For my lab, I bought a little breakout box from Fry's. This let me connect 4 Console connection to the breakout box and just my laptop to the box. Let's me switch between all 4 boxes with the turn of a dial:-)
Steps to take: reboot the box and send a break during the initial boot sequence at the rommon1> prompt, change the config register using: confreg 0x2142 it will tell you that the router need to be reset, type reset and hit enter when the router boots up, you will get the initial system configuration dialog, type no hit return to get started type config memory (important not to use config t) type enable enable secret 0 yourpassword config-register 0x2102 line vty 0 4 password 0 yourpassword login line con 0 password 0 yourpassword login end exit should see a password prompt if you don't just power cycle the router to begin over) enter password if your in, enable wr memory reload The PIX 520 requires you to create a null password disk and reboot the box with the disk inserted to erase the passwords. Better get in the habit of documenting EVERYTHING YOU TYPE AND THE ORDER YOU DID IT IN, it will serve you later down the road when you have to back out some change that went awry...

Use hyperterminal to make the connection and then can turn the rj45 ports on using the vty option. You will need to get the appropriate ios reference for this model to have much hope of configuring it beyond the most basic configuration. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chris Orr Sent: 29 April 2002 19:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cisco Pix 520 Hello, I'm trying to teach myself some of the basics in computer security and I've purchase some equipment from ebay. Long story short. Before I fire up the Cisco Pix, I'm trying to change the password on the Cisco Router 3600 I've purchased. Everything I've read indicates that I can telnet in but on this router telnet has been turned off. How can I physically access the con port on the front of the router using an RJ-45 cable? Thanks for helping out a newbie.
