recover FORGOTTEN security password

Is there a way to recover a FORGOTTEN security password on CUCM 6.1.2
Publisher without starting from scratch? I've done quite a bit of
configuration on it.

I was adding a Subscriber when it failed - "first node is not a first
node etc, ." I checked the security password and found I can't change
it.

The person who set up the Pub can't remember what it was and I tried
several variations. All my attempts were unsuccessful.

The good thing is it's not a production system yet but I really don't
want to type that info back in again.

I do have a backup but will that restore with the old (unknown) security
password.



Hopefully,

Kevin

Re: recover FORGOTTEN security password [In reply to]

Step 1 Log in to the system, using local console, with the following
username and
password:
- Username: pwrecovery
- Password: pwreset
The Welcome to admin password reset window displays.
Step 2 Press any key to continue.
Step 3 If you have a CD or DVD in the disk drive, remove it now.
Step 4 Press any key to continue.
The system tests to ensure that you have removed the CD or DVD from the
disk
drive.
Step 5 Insert a valid CD or DVD into the disk drive.
The system tests to ensure that you have inserted the disk.
Step 6 After the system verifies that you have inserted the disk, you
get
prompted to select the password you want to reset. Select "S" for the
security password.
Step 7 Follow instructions to complete the process.


It's in the OS Admin guide I believe.
