Cisco Password Decryptor is a Windows software that empowers users to retrieve stored credentials from Cisco network devices. It is possible to recover keyphrases from previously created configuration files.

How it works

The utility lets you restore access to protected routers by revealing the account password. To do so, it is necessary to enter the encrypted alphanumeric combination and click the Decrypt button.

Like in Cisco Prime, there is an option to import the config file associated with the target hardware. Users can extract multiple credentials from these documents simultaneously, which is particularly helpful when migrating to a new network. Retrieved passwords are automatically copied to the system clipboard to streamline further processing.

Benefits and limitations

Using this program you are able to restore forgotten or misplaced credentials. Moreover, it aids in verifying account security and serves as a learning tool for understanding encryption mechanisms.

Please note that only Type 7 keyphrases may be recovered. Other formats like Type 0 and 5 are not supported.
