EN - ASA Password recovery - something to note

If you are doing ASA password recovery like it is discribed on CISCO.com
(Recovery procedure link)
One thing you might notice that some functions are not working as expected. Well the „disable system configuration?“ question has to be answerd with „Yes“ so sure nothing should realy work.
Yesterday I spend quite a lot of time till I recognised that the ASA was nearly working except for the PPPOE part. A debug on pppoe showed ..well nothing. After some time I figured that the customer did not switch the configuration register back to the defaults and did not do a reload, so we were still hanging in the password recovery process. Switching back the configuration register, reloading and hurray the ASA was back up online. Interesstingly the rest of the activated features worked like a charm.
