Setting passwords is the first line of defense against intruders. Sometimes passwords are forgotten and must be recovered. All Cisco password recovery procedures dictate that the user performs the password recovery process from the console port of the router or switch. There are, however, certain circumstances in which the widely available password recovery procedure should be disabled. One such circumstance is an emergency Add, Move, or Change (AMC), whereby a
networking device needs to be in a location that does not have the proper mechanisms in place for physical security, thus allowing an intruder a greater chance of circumventing traditional security measures.
