Cant Access Router NO Password Set

ULWizULWiz Member Posts: 722
So i was screwing around with my router downstairs and for some reason locked myself out.

When i try and enter enable mode to start working on the router again i get the following message.

Router>enable
% No password set

At this point of course i cant get any further.

Anyone know how i can remedy this situation

    You have to console in instead of telnet. Once in you can set the password.

    You've got the console cable plugged into the aux socket.

    Wow you got it. Actually had no idea you could console in on the AUX port. Thought you could only do it on the console.

    I guess i just made a classis noob mistake as well. Actually have not touched the rack for a while and did not even know it was in the AUX port. I assumed since i had access it was in the console port.

    Thanks I learn something everyday


    THanks again for the fast reply to both.
