Reset password on cisco 801

[oswald18]

Hi,
How can I reset the password on a cisco 801 ?
I can't acces to : boot#
but only boot>
I am connecting by a console cable.
I try to reboot my router with ESC, Break, Ctrl Break, ...
But I can't acces into ROMMON

Do you have a solution ?
Thanks for your help

ios-conf: failed, "permission denied"
boot>

Sorry, thought I'd make sure. I've had trouble with Hyperterminal ans break key sequences. I finally downloaded TeraTerm to consistantly get the break sequence to work on router boots. Or try this:

This is useful if your terminal emulator doesn't support the break key, or if a bug prevents it from sending the correct signal (the hyperterminal under Windows NT used to suffer from this behavior):

Connect to the router with the following terminal settings:
1200 baud rate
No parity
8 data bits
1 stop bit
No flow control

You no longer see any output on your screen. This is normal.

Power cycle (switch off and then on) the router and press the spacebar for 10-15 seconds. This generates a signal similar to the break sequence.

Disconnect your terminal and reconnect with a 9600 baud rate. You should now be in ROM Monitor mode.
