    Removed Device after factory reset, unable to activate Windows with Inbuilt hardware code


    Hi, this is a mix between activation and me not understanding how devices work apparently. So I ran into a hard drive failure recently, which has led me to fully replacing my storage in my PC. Before my hard drive fully failed, I reinstalled Windows 10 to see if that was the current problem which it wasn't. When using the hardware Windows 10 activation code, it would not allow me most likely because Microsoft IDed it as a separate PC. After this, I was unable to activate Windows again, then my PCs hard drive failed and now I have a new one. The problem is I still have the code in my current hardware, as well as in an email I wrote to myself before it failed, but it will not work because Microsoft ID's it as a separate PC. I also no longer have my old PC in my devices as I removed it thinking that would remove the code's activation on the old PCs ID. Unfortunately I do not want to have to replace windows as it costs quite a bit for me right now.

    :)

    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".
