    Why is my factory reset taking so long?


    After I had somehow lost my D: drive, I had the idea to factory reset my PC since after scanning, we could not find the issue. It has been stuck on 13% for 5 hours but all signs point to it still attempting to complete a factory reset. However I am afraid that the reset has failed or there is an issue causing it to be unable to complete.I have no backup files etc, that I can put in instead. Any advice would be lovely.Thank you.

    :)

    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".

    Factory reset takes long time.

    Hi,



    I performed factory reset from about -> reset phone option. Its been 2 hours and still i have gears rolling over my screen. How long does it take to complete? I tried soft reset by pressing the volume down and power button, but with no luck. I have also
    tried hard reset by pressing volume down, power and camera button but it just soft resets the phone and the gears again come up on the screen. Thanks in advance for your help.

    How long does the factory reset take? I did the about -> reset your phone method and it's been showing the spinning sprokets for quite a while now. Probably close half an hour. I don't know what to do. Should I just leave it be? as i going to sleeping in
