  1. Completely locked out of PC after Factory Reset after Adware infection.


    I recently accidentally clicked on a link which inevitably ended up with me getting horrible adware. I scanned for it with Defender to no avail. So I took it up a notch and dug around in Safe Mode, nothing. I then went further and downloaded Malwarebytes Premium. After "removing" the virus it instantly came back, so I decided to dig through my files in attempt to find it. After deleting a file I knew was apart of the virus that was disguised as a Windows file I logged off to take a break. After I returned half of my files had completely disappeared without a trace, assuming this may have bee

    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".
