Re: Configuring DSL 675(Sorry OT)

Hi, John;

The default ENABLE password on the 675 used to be blank (just press enter).

However, that was fixed in later versions of the CBOS (Cisco Broadband
Operating System) and I think that it now comes with a default password of
PASSWORD, although I haven't tried this.

If that still doesn't work, or you have forgotten your password for some
reason *cough*, here is a guide to getting the password back.

Connect your PC's serial port to the 675's management port.

Remove, then restore power to the 675.

As soon as the 675's red ALARM light comes on, hit Ctrl-C a few times to
enter ROM monitor mode.

Enter the following to dump 400 bytes of data starting at address fef80030.
You can adjust the number of words if you need a smaller or larger dump:

db fef80030 400

The right hand column is the ASCII dump of your NVRAM. Look for Root
Password = and Enable Password = . The next ten characters after each are
your EXEC and ENABLE passwords, only shifted by two letters (disregard any
trailing ".").

This means that a = c, b = d, . = 0, / = 1, 0 = 2, etc. (you may want to
consult an ASCII chart). For example, using this key, if the characters from
the dump were /LwN_qqub your password would be 1MyPasswd.

Reboot the 675 to exit monitor mode.

I use a 675 for my OpenBSD connection, and it works great once you figure
out the CBOS commands and setting up NAT at the router. The only drawback is
that Qwest changes the IP every month or so, but I have a couple scripts
that have taken care of that...
