RE: Cannot Get BGP peering to come up!!

Being that it's an MD5 hash, the answer would be no, you can't discover it.

However, you CAN go back and re-read the lab for important hints, perhaps on
the first page where you may see mention of "all passwords are XXXXX unless
otherwise specified" which can be incredibly important!

Thats what I would like to think too :) All the same, if there's a way to
discover through troubleshooting, it would be worth knowing. Cisco throws
all sorts of surprises at you.
