please pleaee do not copy me links as i understand little of cisco routers....how can i bring my router to the default configuration as i can not use enable mode to write erase, please explain easily
NOTE: ITS A CISCO ROUTER NOT A NORMAL ROUTER SO IT DOES NOT HAVE A PINHOLE TO RESET! AND ITS A ROUTER NOT A SWITCH SO IT DOES NOT HAVE THE MODE BUTTON.

Answer 1

I have answered this already on your other post. this is how to do it



First make sure you are consoled onto the router.

Power off the router and then power it back on. When you see the ios extracting (you will see a load of hash signs #########), press the page break button on your keyboard.

You will now be in rommon mode. Type confreg 0x2142 and hit enter (this will set the router to skip nvram for config).

type reset and router will reload to blank config

type erase startup

go to enable mode (type en)

go to configure terminal mode (type config t)

type configure-register 0x2102 (this will put the config register mode back to default)

reload the router.

Follow these steps to reset password



1.Download a program called Putty from the first resource site below. PuTTY is a terminal emulator application which can act as a client for the SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw TCP computing protocols (Putty on Wikipedia).



2.Connect one end of the blue serial cable to the Cisco Router and the other to your computer. Open up the Putty program on your computer and select the radio button next to "serial" on the right-hand side of the start window. Click on the "Open" button in the bottom right-hand corner of the Putty start window to open the terminal.



3.Power the Cisco Router on. As soon as the router begins loading in the green and black Putty terminal window, press the "Ctrl" and "Break" keys simultaneously until its going into rommon mode.



4.Once in rommon mode, you have to change the configuration register number to make the router boot from a blank configuration file. For the 2800 series Cisco Routers, the command "confreq 0x2142", changing the register number to 2142, worked. Search on cisco.com for information on your particular Cisco Router Series.



5.Type the restart command in rommon mode, which is "reset". This will boot the router up again. When it is finished, you should be able to type "en" to get into enable mode without a password.



6.Once you change the running-config in RAM and save it to the startup-config in NVRAM, remember to change the configuration register number back to its default (usually 0x2102). This is important if you change anything on the running-config. Thanks for reading.

Answer 3

Follow the password recover procedure for your model. You will need console access.



The basic steps are like these.



1) Break boot sequence and enter ROMMON.

2) Change the config-register setting.

3) reboot.

4) copy your config and change the password.

5) change the config-register setting back to normal.

Answer 4

- hook up with the console port with a terminal emulator - capability on the router - stop the boot, pressing ruin key on terminal emulator, to place the router in ROMMON - form confreg 0x2142 (to bypass config load in the process the boot) - form reset - form no after each and every setup question, or press Ctrl-C as a fashion to bypass the preliminary setup technique. - form enable on the Router> instant. - form configure reminiscence (to load your unique config) - you are able to now alter something you like , alongside with password - form config-sign up 0x2102 to set the boot option to load config from NVRAM i desire that the technique is sparkling...... ciao, Maurizio (2 same questions, 2 same solutions ;-) )
