Windows 10: assistance with resetting to factory settings

Hi there,


in the last year i have had lots of different cyber crimes happening to me, and was thinking about doing a rest to factory, however i have 2 pcs which im pretty sure i have used the same log in information or linked the accounts. im still sure that both copies of windows has a different licence key. i am think if i reset to factory that might be good enough to get rid of any malicious hidden software on my pc like key logging software. what are mybest options for checking for such malware. i have a paid anti virus Bullguard


thank you for any help you can offer

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
