    Resetting my PC to default status


    Hey all, hope to find some help here. I want to sell my PC running Win10 Pro and therefore want to get rid of all data without damaging the OS itself. There's no need for a super effective wipe, the device stays in the family. Can I simply do it via the diskmanager and format C:? If so will I need to reinstall Win10 afterwards? I have bad exp with the latter, which is why I ask Resetting my PC to default status ;) Greets

    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".
