Can't run 'show run' command on Cisco 1750 Router
I have a Cisco 1750 router that is constantly losing it's ability to route traffic. I can ping it and telnet to it, but at least once a day it stops routing. I logged into it and ran a 'sh ver' and that worked, but when I do a 'sh run' it gives me the message:
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
The ^ symbol is pointing to the 'u' in run. If I type in sh ? I don't see run as an option. Is there some other option I need to enter to see my configuration?

I thought when you connected via serial cable the password you were entering was the enable password. Is there a way to reset the enable password if you can't remember it?

Ok, looks like I found the password via a backup of the config. Can I ask one last question? I am trying to change the enable password. My config shows the following:
enable secret 5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxx
enable password xxxxxxxxx
If I enter 'enable password xxxxxxx' where xxxxxxxxx is the new password, it doesn't work. Can I take that line out of my config? What do I change about the secret?
Thanks
enable secret 5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
enable password xxxxxxxxx
If I enter 'enable password xxxxxxx' where xxxxxxxxx is the new password, it doesn't work. Can I take that line out of my config? What do I change about the secret?

enable password uses very weak type-7 encryption that was broken many-many years ago. you should avoid it.
use enable secret, it has much better encryption
use enable secret, it has much better encryption
plese try 'write terminal' it is same command....

So, do I need to do the following:
no enable password xxxxxxxxxxx
and then:
enable secret 5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
no enable password xxxxxxxxxxx
and then:
enable secret 5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
yep
enable secret xxxxx
no enable password
enable secret xxxxx
no enable password

When I do the enable secret xxxxx it is telling me:
The enable secret you have chosen is the same as your enable password.
That is not recommended. Re-enter the enable secret.
Now, this is not the same password I am using for my enable password, so not sure why I am seeing this.

just change the secret, delete enable and _before_ saving to startup config, telnet (keeping serial connection open) and verify that password works
if everything looks good save the config
