1
00:00:07,870 --> 00:00:09,440
This is a troubleshooting lab.

2
00:00:10,150 --> 00:00:18,310
Can you believe it? The previous administrator at your company was fired and he was the only one who

3
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:21,430
knew the passwords of these devices.

4
00:00:22,090 --> 00:00:30,160
Unfortunately, the company doesn't have a document with company passwords locked in a safe or stored

5
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,360
somewhere securely.

6
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:39,270
The passwords of these devices were only known by the now fired network administrator

7
00:00:39,610 --> 00:00:41,800
and you need to fix this.

8
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:50,750
So in this lab, you need to do a password reset on router 1, router 2, and switch 1.

9
00:00:51,370 --> 00:00:57,720
You need to reset the enable passwords of router 1, router 2 and the switch to Cisco.

10
00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:01,510
Now, that in itself is not a good advice for the real world.

11
00:01:02,050 --> 00:01:07,330
In the real world, you obviously going to use a better password than Cisco 

12
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:16,000
but for this lab, that's sufficient. Now to help you I've added links to Cisco, documentation for the

13
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,780
real world

14
00:01:17,260 --> 00:01:24,820
you should learn to use Google as well as the Cisco documentation for troubleshooting and networks.

15
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,390
This first document is a troubleshooting guide for the Cisco 4000 series Integrated Services Router

16
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:36,280
and the second link is recovering from a lost or forgotten password

17
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,220
on the 3560 software configuration guide documentation.

18
00:01:44,490 --> 00:01:49,800
So use the documentation to help you if you're not sure how to recover a password.

19
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:58,740
Now, one thing to note is that Packet Tracer doesn't fully support all the options for password recovery

20
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,690
on a Cisco switch

21
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:06,390
but I've tried to make it as close as possible to a real world example.

22
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:14,730
So if you need to watch the next video where I demonstrate how to solve the lab, the router password

23
00:02:14,730 --> 00:02:20,330
recovery will be as per the documentation on the Cisco website.

24
00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:26,820
So use this to help you if you're not sure how to recover passwords.

25
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:35,690
By, for instance, going into ROM Monitor and changing the configuration register, but for the switch

26
00:02:35,870 --> 00:02:40,820
the documentation on Cisco's website is excellent and will help you a lot

27
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,580
but you may need to watch my video to get it to work fully in Packet Tracer.

28
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:55,010
Now, once you've recovered the passwords, make sure that you restore the device configurations.

29
00:02:55,550 --> 00:02:58,970
So don't lose the device configurations.

30
00:02:59,450 --> 00:03:07,850
You should be able to bypass the secret and enable passwords on the devices and restore the configuration.

31
00:03:08,570 --> 00:03:11,180
On router 1 we are using an enable password.

32
00:03:11,450 --> 00:03:18,700
So you need to set that to Cisco, on router 2 end the switch set the secret password to Cisco.

33
00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:22,280
So make sure that you reset the right password.

34
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:29,510
In the real world, you want to use secret passwords and not enable passwords, but for the lab and

35
00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:33,030
for studying, we'll do an example of both.

36
00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:39,800
So again, make sure that device configurations are restored and that devices can ping the loop

37
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,280
backs.

38
00:03:41,150 --> 00:03:47,930
Verify also that when devices are reloaded, configurations are restored using the new passwords.

39
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:55,310
So click on power cycle devices once you think you've got everything working and make sure that the

40
00:03:55,310 --> 00:04:03,590
devices reboot, configurations are loaded correctly, and that the passwords are set to Cisco per these

41
00:04:03,590 --> 00:04:04,400
instructions.

42
00:04:05,150 --> 00:04:11,750
So can you complete the lab? Download the attached packet, tracer file and see if you can complete

43
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,770
the lab yourself.

44
00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:17,209
Otherwise, watch the next video where I complete this lab.
