WIRELESS- Password Recovery Procedure for Catalyst 9800

 


We know about the new wireless controller Cisco WLC 9800. We are going to discuss about the password recovery feature in Cisco Wireless Controller 9800-40.


Software version = 16.10.01

Step1:

Reboot box

Step 2: 

Send 'break' key when you see ##### print on console for system loading image. then, system will breakup boot and will go to rommon prompt. (this can be done using putty or send break key)

rommon 1 >


Step 3: 

Change config register, to 0x2142 using command "confreg 0x2142" from rommon prompt.

rommon 1 > confreg 0x2142


You must reset or power cycle for new config to take effect


 


Step 4: 


To save rommon config change, execute "sync" at the rommon prompt, "reset" rommon to applied change from rommon prompt.


 


rommon 2 > sync


rommon 3 > reset

Step 5: 

Now system will boot without any config, Ignore startup config wizard.

Step 6: 

Once system comes up, copy startup-config to running-config.

Step 7: 

Reconfigure enable password or logging credentials, and check if you can access to the device via telnet or ssh.
