Solved: AAA Locked out

Evan Roggenkamp · ‎04-03-2014

I mistakenly added aaa authorization commands default group MYGROUP to my IOS XR router and now I can not perform any commands.

I cannot roll back configuration either.

How do I fix this?

Hi Evan,

We have several methods documented here

https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-15870

The reason we have so many methods listed is recovery really depends on the environment you are working in. The methods are listed in order of easier and least likely to lose the config to more intrusive and more likely to cause config loss.

HTH,

Sam

Thank you for pointing me to this document! I was able to solve the problem using the backup RP and the ksh shell.
