  1. ive tried factory resetting my pc and doing a fresh install of windows but nothing works


    first off when i go to settings>update&security>recovery and click reset this pc nothing happens, nothing at all and when i click advanced startup it takes me to a blank blue screen. next i tried going into the "safe startup" or whatever it was called when you turn your computer off and on 3 times the option for "use a device" wasn't there and the reset this pc in there did not work it just loaded to 2% and said undoing changes. next i tried reverting to and older version and again it started up and failed immediately so i couldn't do that. next i tried doing a full reinstall of windows by going into the bios and selecting my USB which had a installer for windows on it but my pc would not let me boot into bios with every f1-f12 key tried and esc and del and end I've tried them all and with fast restart off i'm fed up and i have no idea how to fix this. and so far i haven't seen anybody with the same issue

  2. ive tried to restore factory reset but now stuck in bios

    Could you describe how you tried to 'reset' it? Was there a restore point in use?

    Being stuck in the Bios is never a good thing. Make sure your hard drive is working properly and your HD is set to 1st in the boot list.

    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".
