Cisco 67x Password Change Instructions

You will need connect the management serial cable that came with your Cisco. It will need to be connected to the MGMT port on the back of the Cisco and a serial port on your computer. You will then need to connect to the Cisco with terminal software (e.g: Hyperterminal, ZTerm, Minicomm, Telix). The speed the terminal software will communicate with the Cisco will be either 9600 or 38400, no software or hardware handshaking.

  1. At the Password prompt enter your routers exec password.
  2. Type "enable" and press the Enter key.
  3. Enter your enable password.
    Note: If you do not remember your passwords you can try pressing enter at the prompts without entering anything. It is possible you do not have a password set on your router. If this doesn't work you will need to call our technical support staff and have them walk you through reseting the configuration on your router.
  4. Type set ppp wan0-0 password followed by a space and then your new password.
  5. Enter write.
  6. Enter reboot.
    Note: At this point the password has been changed on your Cisco and it is rebooting so the changes take effect. Once the WAN link light becomes solid you should be able to access the Internet.
