Description
This document describes the password recovery procedure for the Cisco Catalyst 5000 ATM LAN emulation (LANE) module
(WS-X5153/5154/5155/5156/5157/5158/5166).

Step-by-Step Procedure
In order to recover a password, you must download a recovery image onto the ATM module that will erase the contents of nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).

Before you start, make sure you have the ATM module recovery image and the original or latest ATM module image. To get this image, establish an FTP session to ftp.cisco.com and log in as c5k_atmp. Use your email address as the password. Enter the get atm_911.cbi command.
Download the ATM module recovery image on the Catalyst 5000 supervisor console by typing:
download host atm_911.cbi atm mod_num

Wait for the module online message. At this time, the password is disabled and the NVRAM on the ATM module is erased. Reboot the Catalyst 5000.
If you wish to save your original configuration without the password, continue with step 4 below. Otherwise, to enter a new configuration, skip to step 5.

Enter the session ATM slot # command. Then, on the ATM module, type:
enable (you will not be prompted for a password)

write memory

exit

This will save your configuration, but without the enable password.

To enter a new configuration, download the original ATM image by typing:
download filename

Once you receive the module online message, you may session to the ATM module and enable without a password.
　

Note: Do not use the recovery image (atm_911.cbi) for normal operation. You must download the actual image after recovering the password.
