Group password recovery in the Cisco 3030

rtuttle · ‎11-17-2008

I have about 20 groups in a failed concentrator that I need to recover the group password for. This is from the concentrator and the passwords are in hex. I do not have access to the clients which I can decode. Anybody know tips on decoding the cli group passwords in a 3030?

Hi,

I hope the below information helps.

Under Administration-->Access Rights -->Access Settings

Config File Encryption : check NONE , Then Apply.

---------------------------

The file can be viewed from following Tab

Administration ---> File Management

You will the config file and config backup file. There is very "view" button that you can click to view the file now.
