Create Cisco console cable by Yourself

How to create Cisco console cable by yourself

1. Preparation
You should prepare the following two, as well as a Cisco and a console-terminal.

* RJ45-DSub9Pin Cable Changer (In=RJ45 Female, Out=DSub9Pin Female)

As far as I know, you can buy it at the following shops for about 500 yen:
o Jimbo-Shokai (Akiba, Tokyo, Japan)
o Plathome (Akiba, Tokyo, Japan)

* Ethernet Category-5 straight cable

Other category would be okay.

2. how to connect them
Please see the following picture. At least you must connect DSub9Pin's 2, 3, and 5 to the correct corresponding port on RJ45; others are optional.

Tweak XP (Note1)

>>> Access Stored User Names and Passwords with rundll32.exe

+ Click on START - RUN and type the following (follwed by ENTER):

+ rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

>>> Changing ANY user password without having to know the existing password

+ This tweak gives a user the opportunity to use it for good or bad. It enables the user to re-password any account without having to know the existing password and also shows you every account that exists on the machine (even the ones that are hidden). This is a good tool to use if you forgot a password to say your administrator account and you needed to be logged into the admin account for any reason.

To view all of the user accounts:

1) While logged onto the computer, click on Start>Run>and type in CMD.

2) From the command prompt window, type in net users. This will show you every account that is made onto the computer whether it is hidden or not.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

To change an account password:

1) While logged onto the computer to an account that has administrative rights, click on Start>Run>and type in CMD.

2) Type in net user then the name of the account then * and press enter. heres an example: net user administrator * or net user "Joe Smith" * . Put the name in quotes if it contains spaces.

3) From there it should ask for a new password. Type in your new password (type very carefully - the command window won't display what you type) and once more to confirm it. If you get the message that the command succeeded successfully you're all set!!
