  1. Attempting to reset my pc.


    Earlier today, I noticed that my computer was acting sluggish and not performing great, so I wanted to do a factory reset. However, whenever I try, the reset gets to about 30 percent and gives the error message, "There was a problem resetting your pc n\ No changes were made,". I have researched into this and tried to do various things such as "sfc /scannow" in my command prompt, starting my windows modules installer, safe booting to attempt my sfc scan and many more and was wondering if there was a way to fix this. My pc is usable but as I said, I'd like to reset it so my computer can perform

    :)

    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".

    Hello,

    If you are having that message while trying to reset your computer, We suggest you to create an installation media for Windows 10 using Media

    There is a problem resetting your pc no changes

    Hi Xin,

    There may be a virus infection on your laptop, as suspected. We'd like to know a few things to help you fix this. Kindly answer the following:

    • What browser were you using when you encountered the error?
    • How did you attempt to reset the device?

    We discourage you from calling any support numbers your browser gives you when you encounter such errors. Those numbers are fraud and will lead to no good if you allow the support personnel to access your device. Since the laptop has not been reset, we suggest
    you reset your browser and run a full scan using your antivirus software. You can check these pages to know how you can perform the suggested steps:


    Let us know if you need more help.

    Regards.
