Hi,

I was trying to do some work at home and it seems that I have messed up my home router...

I loaded a configuration from a 2621XM into my home 2621 and now, when I try to establish a hyperterminal session all that I get are strange symbols like
A#a+„R+!
k++
*#")cý¤
!!
))c#HH8Óc)!
I don't get a command prompt at all and when I type something all what I get is more symbols.......

Because of this, I tried to enter the router via Rommon.......switch off, switch on and Control+Break........but exactly the same happens........nothing happens in the terminal session and when I type only strange symbols appear on the screen......

Any help please, this is my home router, pride and joy.......

 
Try different speed settings on your PC com port.
 
Are you trying to access the router via telnet or the console port.
You are going to have to recover this from console.

Thank you all.............somehow, when I tried to load the other configuration I didn't load the configuration at all BUT it set the speed on the line con 0 to 57600

So I can now acces the router......pheeeew

Again, thank you
