Zen Cart™


Zen Cart™, the Shopping Cart Designed for Online Merchants

Zen Cart™ truly is the art of e-commerce; free, user-friendly, open source shopping cart software. The ecommerce web site design program is being developed by group of like-minded shop owners, programmers, designers, and consultants that think ecommerce web design could be and should be done differently.

Some shopping cart "solutions" seem to be complicated programming exercises instead of responding to users' needs, Zen Cart™ puts the merchants and shoppers requirements first. Similarly, other shopping cart software programs are nearly impossible to install and use without an IT degree, Zen Cart™ can be installed and set-up by anyone with the most basic web site building and computer skills.

There are hundreds of shopping cart programs available, but none come close to offering the level of options, features and support available with Zen Cart™. Even the commercial programs have a hard time competing.

Developers and designers love it.

A long list of features.

Strong, growing, helpful online community.

Recovery Password Cisco

1. Attach a terminal or PC with terminal emulation to the console port of the router.
Use these terminal settings:
¨ 9600 baud rate
¨ No parity
¨ 8 data bits
¨ 1 stop bit
¨ No flow control
Refer to these documents for information on how to cable and connect a terminal to the console port
or the AUX port:
¨ Cabling Guide for Console and AUX Ports
¨ Connecting a Terminal to the Console Port on Catalyst Switches
¨ Connect a Terminal to Catalyst 2948G−L3, 4908G−L3, and 4840G Series Switches

2. If you can access the router, type show version at the prompt, and record the configuration register setting. See Example of Password Recovery Procedure in order to view the output of a show version
command

Note: The configuration register is usually set to 0x2102 or 0x102. If you can no longer access the router (because of a lost login or TACACS password), you can safely assume that your configuration register is set to 0x2102.

3. Use the power switch in order to turn off the router, and then turn the router back on.
Important Notes:
* In order to simulate this step on a Cisco 6400, pull out and then plug in the Node Route
Processor (NRP) or Node Switch Processor (NSP) card.

* In order to simulate this step on a Cisco 6x00 with NI−2, pull out and then plug in the NI−2
card.

4. Press Break on the terminal keyboard within 60 seconds of power up in order to put the router into ROMMON.
If the break sequence does not work, refer to Standard Break Key Sequence Combinations During Password Recovery for other key combinations.

5. Type confreg 0x2142 at the rommon 1> prompt in order to boot from Flash.
This step bypasses the startup configuration where the passwords are stored.

6.Type reset at the rommon 2> prompt.
The router reboots, but ignores the saved configuration.

7. Type no after each setup question, or press Ctrl−C in order to skip the initial setup procedure.

8. Type enable at the Router> prompt.
You are in enable mode and should see the Router# prompt.

9.Type configure memory or copy startup−config running−config in order to copy the nonvolatile
RAM (NVRAM) into memory.

Important: Do not type copy running−config startup−config or write. These commands erase your
startup configuration.

10. Type show running−config.
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.

11.Type configure terminal.
The hostname(config)# prompt appears.

12. Type enable secret in order to change the enable secret password. For example: hostname(config)#enable secret cisco

13.Issue the no shutdown command on every interface that you use.
If you issue a show ip interface brief command, every interface that you want to use should display up up.

14. Type config−register . Where configuration_register_setting is
either the value you recorded in step 2 or 0x2102 .
For example: hostname(config)#config−register 0x2102

15. Press Ctrl−z or end in order to leave the configuration mode.
The hostname# prompt appears.

16. Type write memory or copy running−config startup−config in order to commit the changes.
