I dont want this for hacking purpose. I had made users on one of my edge routers, unfortunately lost the level15 password. Though i have the level9 password and i can only view the configuration.

Cant afford to drop the router for password recovery procedure.

Thanx !

You need to crack MD5 for this, the way to do it will be "dictionary-attack" and "brute-force" or "rainbow-tables" but all this depend the complexity and length of the password.

Cisco explain about his "password encryption" here,
