    Windows re-installed itself/hard reset


    So yesterday, I saw an unusual digit on my gigabyte motherboard, so I decided to reset my pc, like I’ve done before. For some reason, however, it ended up completely wiping it and taking me to the Windows installation screen. I later found out this was because I had a USB drive plugged in, even though it didn’t have anything windows related on it. Anyway, I saw the option to get back into my current system so I tried to do that but it did not let me. It had me install a second installation of windows although I already had. When it opens up, it’s like a fresh factory reset. I checked my d

    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".
