    I should mention that I am completely unable to set myself as administrator for my C: drive, and that includes running anything as an administrator, changing permissions on my C: drive, downloading anything that requires admin permissions, and even just simply viewing my permissions by right clicking on the C: drive >Properties > Security to view the permissions of it. Please help me, I've tried watching tens of videos and reading tens of threads, but nothing has helped. I have also tried factory resetting multiple times and trying different accounts each time.

    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".

    How to Factory Reset Drives?

    Greetings,

    I recently was having issues with my PC and decided to factory reset it from a USB drive. When it was finished resetting, I had 3 drives instead of my normal 2, so I deleted the extra one. I then factory reset it once more and when it was done I had Windows
    on my 1 TB drive (DI did a factory reset on my pc. I am completely unable to access my C: drive and anything... :) instead of my 100 GB drive (CI did a factory reset on my pc. I am completely unable to access my C: drive and anything... :). My C: drive only has 500 MB available on it now and it says I have 111 GB of unallocated memory. How do I reset my drives back to factory settings? I have tried resetting my PC and it has only reset files
    but not the drives. Any suggestions?

    Thank you
