  1. Locked out of Windows after factory reset. Need help.


    I just factory reset my PC. It boots up, displays my username, but when I enter my password I get the message "User Profile service failed the sign in" No problem, I did some googling on my phone and found that I have to enter safe mode and add a new user account through command prompt. This is where my issue is. I use a bluetooth keyboard, which does not allow me to select the safemode option in BIOS. I feel that I've hit a wall and won't have access to my PC until I get another keyboard. I'm really hoping this isn't the case, it seems like a huge oversight considering the amount of wirele

    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".

    5800 does a factory reset also reset the sim lock

    I have a 5800, which has been unlocked by the provider (Tmobile) so I can use an 02 sim.

    The phone currently has the expired certificate problem, and as suggested in the forums a factory reset may fix this. I know that most of the phones setting will also be reset...



    But will a factory reset also reset the sim lock, and lock the phone back to Tmobile ?
