Note the setting of the config register ( Router> sh version) It will be
something like 0x21xx. After you have recovered your password, you will
need to set the config register back to this.
Turn the router off, and turn it back on. Within five seconds of turning it
back on, hit CTRL+BREAK. I find that I have to sort of do it repeatedly and
it works. It should take you to the 'rommon>' prompt at which you need tot
set the config register to 0x142 - This causes the router to bypass the
configuration contents stored in NVRAM upon next bootup. To do this, type
o/r 0x142.
Once the configuration register has been changed, initialize and reboot the
router by typing the following > i
After the router boots up, it will ask if you want to enter config mode.
Answer no. Enter config mode the normal way. You will not be asked for a
password. You can then load the old config back if you so desire. ( copy
run start) and then set a new password and save your config. It is
important to set your config register to what it was before in order to
enable the router to boot form the config that is now stored in NVRAM
Hope this helps.

now in my CCNA classes we had to do this..i think when you managed to halt
the processes using (help me out here ctrl+break+d???!?!) you could type in
"0X220" or something of that nature.
That will allow you to get into the router and configure it like you want
to. If anyone knows the exact command help me out here.
