Kim, I appreciate the re as it turns out my fingers weren't fast enough. FYI when TACACS is enabled and the designated server is not available I found that I had to through the user name password authentication process quickly then type en followed by 2x key strokes got me past TACACS. Following the standard recovery procedure worked after the afore mentioned process. Apparently the 30 second rule got me so it took several attempts. Again I appreciate your response.
