Which two actions does the pwrec command accomplish in a Cisco VCS appliance? (Choose two.)

SSH access on Cisco VCS is authenticated using the admin or root account credentials, not a separate SSH-specific password, so pwrec does not target an SSH password distinctly.

The pwrec command resets the admin account password on the Cisco VCS, restoring web interface and CLI administrative access when the password has been lost or forgotten. This is the primary use case for the command in VCS maintenance procedures.

The pwrec command is scoped only to the admin and root built-in accounts and cannot reset passwords for arbitrary or custom user accounts configured on the system.

The pwrec command also resets the root system password, granting OS-level access to the underlying Linux environment. Resetting both admin and root credentials ensures full recovery of appliance control without requiring a factory reset.

Cisco VCS does not support Telnet as an access method due to its insecure nature, so there is no Telnet password to recover or change.
