#1password recovery process password
In the router configuration, a new command system recovery is created for the purpose of enabling the new password recovery feature. In the Grand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) menu of the Route Processor (RP) bootup screen a new option - "IOS-XR-Recovery" is added which is explicitly created for the password recovery procedure. Starting 7.3.16 release for Cisco 8000 series platform and 7.3.3 for NCS5500 series platform, Cisco has come up with a new method for password recovery without the need to re-image the router.

This is a time-consuming process as it involves installing router software again afresh and loading device configuration.Ī faster and secure method for password recovery on Cisco XR7 and eXR platforms is needed. The only available alternative to reset the password is to re-image the router with the use of the USB boot method or iPXE boot from an external server. Today, password recovery on XR7 LNT platforms (Cisco 8000, NCS-540L) or eXR platforms (ASR9K 64-bit, NCS5K, NCS5500, NCS 540, NCS 560) is not possible. This new password recovery method is security standards compliant as old user info and user runtime data is wiped out before initiation of the password recovery process. Such a password recovery method will not require software to be re-installed thereby saving time and allowing access to the router post password reset.
Installing software afresh is a time-consuming process. Re-image of router involves installing router software again afresh and loading the device configuration. Today, password recovery of such router is possible only via router re-image with the use of the USB boot method or iPXE boot from an external server. If a user forgets the root password or passwords of all users are lost on XR7 LNT platforms (Cisco 8000, NCS-540L) or eXR platforms (ASR9K 64-bit, NCS5K, NCS5500, NCS 540, NCS 560), the router becomes inaccessible for the user as login is not possible without correct username/password combination. This document describes a new password recovery process for Cisco IOS®-XR for Cisco 8000 and NCS5500 platforms.
