I don't know anything about password recovery, but anyone with pyhsical
(serial cable) access to a cisco product can force the device to reboot
and ignore the saved configuration. You can then do a "conf t" and
create a new config, save it, and reboot. So you don't actually recover
the old password, you just write over it. There are docs for this
procedure here:

So (like you mentioned in your email), physical access to the equipment
is the key factor. Keep people away from your routers and they can't
mess with your configuration.
