Router passwords

Mark_Hutch

Hi Guys

New here been lurking a while but finally got round to registering.
Need a bit of help please

I brought some cisco switches and routers 2600's and 2500,s. Been reading ccent dummies guide and have finally got to the section of setting up the routers.
This is when I discovered that the routers have passwords assigned to them!
Is there anyway of bypassing this? Probably not as that would make them pretty useless for an networking environment
Or is it possible to reset to factory settings or some such?

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

You can do password recovery. With the help of Google, you should be able to do it. It's pretty straightforward.
