This step bypasses the startup configuration where the passwords are stored.
The router reboots, but ignores the saved configuration.
You are in enable mode and should see the Router# prompt.
Important: Do not type copy running-config startup-config or write. These commands erase your startup configuration.
The show running-config command shows the configuration of the router. In this configuration, the shutdown command appears under all interfaces, which indicates all interfaces are currently shut down. In addition, the passwords (enable password, enable secret, vty, console passwords) are in either an encrypted or unencrypted format. You can reuse unencrypted passwords. You must change encrypted passwords to a new password.

hostname(config)#enable secret cisco

Router#show ip interface brief
hostname(config)#config-register 0x2102
