Cisco IOS-based devices, such as Catalyst switches, some routers and wireless AP, save some of their passwords using a reversible encryption that is shown in Cisco configurations with a 7 in front of the password. The following example Cisco configuration section shows the user "temp" with a Cisco Type-7 password:
username temp privilege 15 password 7 095C4F1A0A1218000F
The Cisco Type-7 password decoder will reverse the encryption and show the original password. Simply enter the encrypted password, which in the above example would be "095C4F1A0A1218000F" into the decoder and the password will be automatically shown.
The password was "password" in the above example.
