SF's silent sysadmin pleads not guilty

not so quick, ROMMON disabled, not so simple to recover

router1(config)#no service password-recovery

WARNING:

Executing this command will disable password recovery mechanism.

Do not execute this command without another plan for

password recovery.

rommon security is the same as locking the door and throwing away the key to a device. Without the access password, there is only one way to get into the router -- return the device to Cisco to reflash the IOS.
