Windows 10: I had to turn off my computer during reset. What happens to my personal files?

There's an option to reset your computer whilst keeping personal files. My computer recently had major problems starting up windows. So, l thought I should reset my pc to fix this problem. Unfortunately, my computer wouldn't reset. I left my computer running for hours and nothing happened. (just a black screen) so I switched my computer off. Will this have destroyed my personal files? I'm really struggling to retrieve them at the moment. I'm just really hoping it's not all in vain... any suggestions?

:)

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".
