The factory default passwords for the Cisco VPN 3000 Series are:
username: admin
password: admin
Step-by-Step Procedure
Complete these steps in order to recover a password:
Connect a PC to the VPN Concentrator with a straight-through RS-232 serial cable between the console port on the VPN Concentrator and the COM1 or serial port on the PC (Cisco supplies the cable with the system).
Start a terminal emulator (HyperTerminal) on the PC. Configure a connection on COM1 with port settings of:
9600 bits per second
8 data bits
no parity
1 stop bit
hardware flow control
Set the emulator for VT100 emulation, or let the emulator auto-detect the emulation type.
When the Concentrator boots, and after the power-up diagnostics check is complete, a line of three dots (...) appears on the console, a sample of which is shown here for reference. Press Ctrl-C within three seconds after you see these dots. This displays a menu that lets you reset the system passwords to the defaults.
