   A technician is recovering the enable password on a Cisco 4331 ISR. The technician has console access and has entered ROMMON. The technician sets the configuration register to 0x2142 and boots the router. After booting, the technician copies the startup configuration to the running configuration and sets a new enable secret. The technician then saves the running configuration and restores the configuration register to 0x2102. However, after reloading the router, the technician is still prompted for the old password. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe technician copied the startup configuration to the running configuration after setting the new enable secret, overwriting it.
   • BThe technician used the wrong command to set the enable secret, such as 'enable password' instead of 'enable secret'.
   • CThe technician did not save the running configuration after setting the new enable secret.
   • DThe technician set the configuration register to 0x2102 before saving the running configuration.
