Here's how to clear/change the password. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps574/products_password_reco very09186a00800a6c79.shtml ============================ Daniel Rysztak, CCNP http://www.druids-grove.net/ -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of Ken Fuchs Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 12:00 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Re: Serial console access to Cisco Catalyst 1900 Munir Nassar wrote: >minicom sucks! there i said it. so flame me! >use the infinitely more versatile cu instead. it is usually part of the >uucp package. >$ cu -s 9600 -l /dev/ttyS0 The above cu cmd line worked great in connecting to the Catalyst 1900. I did turn off flow control with "~%nostop", but it probably was already off. cu also probably uses 8 bits, no parity and one stop bit by default. >word of warning: cu uses ~ as the escape char, same as ssh. so if you ssh >into a box and use cu change the default escape char, -E` for example. >otherwise you end up wondering why your ssh session died when you sent a >break to the router :) Thanks for the warning. I used ssh to start an xterm and ran cu in the xterm, thus avoiding the escape character issue altogether. ------ I'm now in the 1900's diagnostic console hoping to clear out the password, so I can access management commands.
