[CLUE-Tech] Re: [CLUE-TechDSL (Cisco Modem) - passwords

Fri Jan 4 16:07:02 MST 2002

I figured some of it out.  It seems that if you set the password encyption 
to disabled and then set the exec and enable passwords  the "Commander 
Password" doesn't show up. BUT if you set password encryption to enabled 
THEN the "Commander Password shows up".  Unfortunately the password 
recovery stuff won't help since the commander password only shows up in 
encrypted mode and using MD5 so their password recovery procedures won't work.

Anyone know how to reverse MD5 encryption? :^)
