Hi,

Please after the control break,what do i have to do next

Hi

(1)You can use command

>config-register 0x2142

>in

This will reboot the router ingnoring the NVRAM

(2)

Router>en

(3)

Router#copy sta run

YourRouterHostName#config t

YourRouterHostName(config)#ena sec YourPassword

YourRouterHostName(config)#config 0x2102

YourRouterHostName#wr

pls do not change any step's order, you may end up losing ur config.

It will be better at step 3 to copy your start-up config(You must be knowing how to copy the config from hyperterminal to notepad)

Pls rate helpfull posts.

Thanks, it is very helpful,but how can i copy from hyperteminal to notepad

Hi

You can just copy the output just as u copy from a DOS window.

or

(1)click on Start-->Capture text

(2)Notedown the file path

(3)Click ok

(4)give " sh sta"

(5)move to next page using key

(6)perform step 5 till u end the config.Just like u are viewing the config.

(7)open the said file using notepad. You will see the config there.

Hope that will help. In case of any diff. shoot back.

pls keep rating :)
