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".

 

Time computer takes to boot up

Hi,

It is possible that it takes too long to boot up after the update because the Fast Startup is disabled. To efficiently assist you, we'd like to know what troubleshooting steps you've done so far.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to enable Fast Startup. This helps start your computer faster after shutdown:

• Open Control Panel and go to Power Options.
• Click on the Choose what the power buttons do link on the left side.
• Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable link at the top.
• If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes.
• Ensure that Turn on Fast Startup is checked.
• Restart the computer.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Windows 10 computer takes hours and sometimes days to boot

You may have a device that is hanging up your system, causing the long boot up time. Suggest going to a bare bones configuration by doing the following:

1. Draw a picture of your back panel showing all of the ports. Indicate what is plugged into which port so you can return to normal later. Do this for the ports on the front and top too.

2. Power off your PC, disconnect the a/c power cable from the back, then press the power on button for 5 seconds to discharge capacitors which removes residual power to the motherboard.

3. Remove every cable from your PC except ones for the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

4. Open the cover for your PC. Then touch the bare chassis with both hands to discharge any static electricity from your body. Then disconnect the SATA and power cables from your optical drive.

5. If you have more than one hard drive in your PC, disconnect them too. You should only have your system hard drive (or SSD) connected at this time.

6. You should be in a bare bones configuration now.

7. Power on your PC and see if it boots up normally.

8. If it still does not boot up normally, power off as in step-2 again. And discharge your self as in step-4.

9. I assume you have two RAM cards of 4GB each for 8GB. If so, determine which slot is slot zero and remove the other RAM card. Slot zero is usually the once closer to the CPU. Be sure you draw a picture (or take a picture with your camera) so you know which slots the cards are in if your motherboard has 4 RAM slots. BE SURE YOU DISCHARGE ANY STATIC ELECTRICITY BY DOING STEP-4 before handling RAM cards. Try to handle only by the edges and not touch the circuits as much as possible.

10. See if it boots up normally. If not, remove the one RAM card (you only have one RAM card installed) and replace it with the other RAM card. You should still have only one RAM card installed.

11. See if it boots up normally.

Note that a defective Optical drive or defective additional hard drives are very likely suspects as cause for long boot times, due to firmware or software waiting for the device to get ready. There should be a time out to not last days but strange things can happen.
