How do I get rid of the Cisco CP one-time user message on a Cisco 2901 router?

  • 772

I get this message on a new 2901 Cisco router:

Cisco Configuration Professional (Cisco CP) is installed on this device and it provides the default username "cisco" for one-time use. If you have already used the username "cisco" to login to the router and your IOS image supports the "one-time" user option, then this username has already expired. You will not be able to login to the router with this username after you exit this session.

It is strongly suggested that you create a new username with a privilege level of 15 using the following command.

username <myuser> privilege 15 secret 0 <mypassword>

Replace and with the username and password you want to use.

It appears every time I login and everytime I show run. I already set up my username. How do I turn it off?

    according to this : https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2001950

    it may be related to the various banners of cisco configuration http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/configfun/command/reference/frf004.html#wp1017571

    try to find out if your 'banners' configurations contains the message

  2. You"ll need to first remove the default banner which you can do in config mode in the CLI by issuing:

    no banner login
no banner exec

    Then you can configure your own.

    Remember to save the running-configuration to the startup configuration once you are happy with the changes you have made, otherwise they will be lost the next time you power cycle the switch.
