IDSM-2 password recovery required

[Shaikh Aman Uddin]

Dear All,

I have lost my IDSM-2 password, the default password is also not working. Is there any way to recover password?

Thanks,

I have some good new and some bad news.

First the good news (first hit on a search or "IDSM password recovery"):

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/vpndevc/ps4077/products_password_recovery09186a0080094e83.shtml#p7

and now the bad news:

There is no method you can use to perform a password recovery on the IDSM while the configuration is retained.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your reply, what is the default password of maintenance partition:

According the the linked doc, there is no password.

Kindly confirm

Thanks in advance!!!

When you reimage a sensor (or get a new sensor out of the box) the default username and password is:

cisco/cisco

You will be forced to change it as soon as you get in.
