The IME password has the following requirements:

Must contain at least 8 characters and no more than 80.

Must contain characters from at least three of the following classes:

Lower case letters

Upper case letters

Digits

Special characters (! @ $ % & *)

No single character repeated more than two times consecutively. 

All input must be ASCII characters.

The IME performs other checks to make sure that the password is secure. You receive an 
error message if the password does not pass validation.

To recover the IME password, follow these steps:

Stop the IME client.

Delete the hosts.cfg file from the installed directory. 

Example 

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cisco Systems\IME\iev\hosts.cfg

This example location may be different depending on which Windows version you have. 

Restart the IME client. 

You are prompted to create a new password.

No events are lost from the database, including new events between the time you deleted hosts.cfg and 
restarted the IME. However, the event account user name and password will be used for both events and 
configuration. If you had different user names and passwords for the event and configuration roles, you 
must edit each device to restore them.

The Cisco Security Intelligence Operations site on Cisco.com provides intelligence reports about current 
vulnerabilities and security threats. It also has reports on other security topics that help you protect your 
network and deploy your security systems to reduce organizational risk.
