Hi Juan,
It is possible to reset the password using SNMP.

First read the config to your tftp server...
/usr/OV/snmpset -c <write community string> <router IP/name>
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.55.ipaddress.of.tftpserver octetstring <filename on
server>

Next edit the config substituting the new, plain text, enable secret
password
Enable secret <password>

then tell the router to boot the config on your tftp server (tftp server
needs to be on the same subnet)...
/usr/OV/bin/ snmpset -c <write community string> <router IP/name>
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.50.ip.address.of.tftpserver octetstring <filename on
server>

And the new config is running, telnet to the router and try your new
password... then copy the running config to startup...

Good Luck

        Hi all,

             I read several times in this list the way of changing a
password of a
        Cisco router from Netview. However I didn't read how to do that by
using
        only snmp. I mean if I forget the pasword of a Cisco router, is
there any
        possibility of changing it by using snmp write? I think it can be
done but
        I don't know how.

        Thankyou very much,

        Juan.
