    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".

    Resetting computer to factory defaults with Windows 10

    Reset to factory defaults.

    Hello, I have been thinking about resetting my computer to its factory default settings. Currently I have installed Windows 10 (I believe my computer came with Windows 8). I was just wondering, if I reset my computer to its factory default settings, will
    windows 10 be the OS that is re-installed? If not, when/if Microsoft starts charging money for the Windows 10 OS will I still be eligible to upgrade for free since I chose to upgrade before?
