Password Recovery Procedure for the Catalyst 5000 ATM LANE Module

Prerequisites: Before you start, make sure you have the ATM module recovery image and the original or latest ATM module image. To get this image, right-click here, and then select Save Link As "atm_911.cbi".

Step 1: Download the ATM module recovery image on the Catalyst 5000 supervisor console by typingdownload host atm_911.cbi atm mod_num

Step 2: Wait for the module online message. At this time, the password is disabled and the NVRAM on the ATM module is erased.

    If you wish to save your original configuration without the password, continue with step 3 below. 
    Otherwise, to enter a new configuration, skip to step 4.

Step 3 Enter the session ATM slot # command. Then, on the ATM module, type:

         enable
         !--- you will not be prompted for a password
         write memory
         exit

     This saves your configuration, but without the enable password.

Step 4: To enter a new configuration, download the original ATM image by typing:download filename

    You can use your original ATM image or download the  latest ATM image(registered customers only).

Step 5: Once you receive the module online message, you may session to the ATM module and enable without a password.

     Note: Do not use the recovery image (atm_911.cbi) for normal operation.
     You must download the actual image after recovering the password.
