The Cisco Router Password Recovery Software is a cost-free tool used to recover passwords for Cisco routers. With simple installation and easy-to-use features, this software is a reliable option for users who need to access their Cisco routers' administrative interface but have forgotten their passwords.

Cisco Router devices operate with three types of password storage in their configuration file: Type 0 Passwords which are stored in plain text, Type 5 Passwords which are stored as salted MD5 hashes requiring brute-force attacks, whilst Type 7 Passwords utilise Cisco's own private encryption algorithm to encode the password, but are easily decrypted using Cisco Password Decryptor.
The tool affords flexibility in its usage, allowing you to quickly recover passwords either by entering the encrypted password directly or by providing the Cisco configuration file. In the latter, the tool automatically spots the Type 7 Password and decrypts it instantly.
This software is an essential asset for all Cisco Administrators as well as penetration testers. Furthermore, the tool is fully portable and accommodates an installer package for local installation and un-installation. It has been thoroughly tested on both 32 bit & 64 bit windows systems ranging from Windows XP to Windows 10.
