You must have a CCO account in order to download any IOS, CatOS, or PIX OS from cisco.com.

If you do not have a CCO account, you can try http://www.vitaltech-group.com/IOSHunter.htm and download IOS Hunter trial version.

Your password problem, is on your cisco account. You have to jump thru their hoops to get the password changed.
But like forbesl said, you must have a CCO account with your cisco id. Your company may have one, if not you will have to try something else.

Also like forbesl said you can try IOS hunter, but if you use the trial version you can't get anything made in the last 2 years. So the version will be old.

Send a blank e-mail to ---> cco-locksmith@cisco.com

And an e-mail with your new password would be sent to the e-mail address you registered with.

He/she already has a CCO account, but if he/she doesnt have the level of privelages needed to download IOS images he/she cant, I can with Channel Partner/reseller/support level.

That whole CCO acount comprimistation was a pain in the ass, my profile got toasted in the process and it took a week to restore my full access

ANd as a side not, look on ebay for IOS study CD, you will find people selling a study CD that has absolutely useless stufy information on them, and they include "for free" later IOS images for educational purposes. They dont sell you the IOS cause thats illegal, but they sell you a study guide and give the IOS free for educational puposes which is legal. Then you are only limited by what models/builds they give you, but a friend of mine buoght one of the DVD ones that had thousands of IOS images on them, educational purposes of course
