[Troubleshooting Methodologies] Which two actions are typically performed in ROMMON mode during the password recovery process? (Choose two.)

During the password recovery procedure on a Cisco router or switch, the device is booted into ROM Monitor (ROMMON) mode. In ROMMON, the primary steps are to change the configuration register value (e.g., to 0x2142) to instruct the device to ignore the startup configuration on the next boot. After changing the register, the device must be rebooted (using the reset or boot command) to load the IOS without a configuration, allowing password modification.

B. The purpose of changing the configuration register in ROMMON is specifically to prevent the startup configuration from being loaded.
C. Saving the configuration is done in privileged EXEC mode within the full IOS, not in the limited ROMMON environment.
D. Passwords are modified in configuration mode after the device has rebooted into IOS, not directly within ROMMON.

- Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Guide, Release 12.2, "Loading and Maintaining System Images and Configuration Files" chapter, Section: "Password Recovery". This section outlines the standard procedure, which includes setting the configuration register in ROMMON and then rebooting the system.

- Cisco, "Password Recovery Procedure for the Cisco 2900, 3900, 2800, and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers," Document ID: 91454. Step 4 explicitly states to change the configuration register using the confreg command in ROMMON, and Step 5 instructs to reboot the router using the reset command.
