Password Reset on a Cisco 1600-Series Router


Abstract: Someone forgot the admin passwords to a Cisco 1600-series router and you have physical access to the router.

You'll need to know the break key sequence for your terminal program, fortunately Cisco has provided a handy list: Standard Break Key Sequence Combinations.

Connect your computer to the router's console port, ensure your terminal software is functioning and configured properly (baud: 9600, data: 8, parity: none, stop: 1, flow control: none, com ports will vary), and start or hard cycle the Cisco's power.

Enter the break key sequence within 60 seconds.

ROMMON> confreg 0x2142
ROMMON> reset

..enter setup mode [yes/no] no
c1600> enable (no passwords are required)
c1600# copy startup-config running-config

Set your new passwords.

c1600# copy running-config startup-config
c1600# config term
c1600(config)# config-register 0x2102
c1600(config)# reload

That's it.

  1. It is a good site post without fail. Not too many people would actually, the way you just did. I am impressed that there is so much information about this subject that has been uncovered and you’ve defeated yourself this time, with so much quality. Good Works! https://192-168-i-i.com/cisco-router-default-password/

  2. This is default IP address that is used by most of the router companies like the PTCL, TP-Link, D-Link, in order to access the admin page of the router
