In order to get your router back to the original settings, you must push in the reset button (usually on the back of the router) for somewhere between 10 and 30 seconds depending on the router. You may need a pin or something small to push in the button, because it can be recessed. Once you have reset the router, the username and password will be changed to the defaults, admin and password, respectively. One thing you must remember is that resetting the router will change all of the router settings back to the factory settings. This means you will lose all of the changes you made since you got the router. Make sure to write down any things you've changed, so you can change them back after the reset. Also, I recommend updating to the latest firmware after the reset.

I recently acquired a linksys router (used) and need to know how to reset the password so that I can use it. Also, is there any way to modify a router to be useful as a cell/wifi blocker, or as a signal booster?<br />... <br /> ----From Yahoo Answers<br /><br /><br />To reset password on a Cisco/D-link/Linksys/Netgear router is a very common problem among people who want a secure network environment for surfing on the internet. If you are confused with the complicated procedure to reset or change the password on a router, or if you are trying to configure a Cisco router, but a password is blocking you from enable mode, don't worry, just do the steps as follows, password reset on a router is no longer upset to everyone.<br /><br />First, be informed that what you need:<br />.<a href="http://www.router-switch.com/Price-cisco-routers_c1">Cisco Router</a><br />.Computer<br />.Internet Connection<br />.Blue Serial Cable<br /><br />Guide for You to Reset Password on a Cisco Router:<br />1. Download a program called Putty from the first resource site below. PuTTy is a terminal emulator application which can act as a client for the SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw TCP computing protocols (PuTTy on Wikipedia).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuTTY<br /><br />2. Connect one end of the blue serial cable to the Cisco Router and the other to your computer. Open up the Putty program on your computer and select the radio button next to "serial" on the right-hand side of the start window. Click on the "Open" button in the bottom right-hand corner of the Putty start window to open the terminal.<br /><br />3. Power the Cisco Router on. As soon as the router begins loading in the green and black Putty terminal window, press the "Ctrl" and "Break" keys simultaneously until its going into rommon mode.<br /><br /><br />4. Once in rommon mode, you have to change the configuration register number to make the router boot from a blank configuration file. For the 2800 series Cisco Routers, the command "confreq 0x2142", changing the register number to 2142, worked. Search on cisco.com for information on your particular <a href="http://www.router-switch.com/Price-cisco-routers_c1">Cisco Router Series</a>.<br /><br />5. Type the restart command in rommon mode, which is "reset". This will boot the router up again. When it is finished, you should be able to type "en" to get into enable mode without a password.<br /><br />6. Once you change the running-config in RAM and save it to the startup-config in NVRAM, remember to change the configuration register number back to its default (usually 0x2102). This is important if you change anything on the running-config. <br /><br />Easy five steps help you finish resetting password on a Cisco router. Easy instruction, easy to follow. <br /><br />

Dear Sir I have a CISCO WS-C2948G-L3 switch with me, when I power it up I get the following message :- ROMMON: Cold Reset frame @0x00000000 ROMMON: Reading reset reason register ROMMON: Valid...

It looks like the IOS is bad or not not there.
You need to instal a new IOS onto the switch.

Corrupted Flash Catalyst 2948G

I have no idea if it will work on your switch - but I just looked in my IOS directory, and I have the following:

cat2948g-in-mz.120-25.W5.27.bin

I don't know where it came from, though - I tend to TFTP off the boot image on every piece of Cisco hardware I get just in case...

I just did a bit of Googling, and I found this - I guess from the filename it's newer than the version I have...

I have a problem with a cisco catalyst 2948G-L3. A have erase of mistake the bootflash. I have tried in some way to download a new IOS, i have the IOS bu i cannot download it in the flash because the...

Two ways to do that are xmodem (slow) or Tftp from rommon mode. (fast)
Place the IOS image in your tftp server directory and start tftp server.
Then enter the following in the switch exactly as below as all are case sensative:
rommon 1> IP_ADDRESS=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
rommon 2> IP_SUBNET_MASK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
rommon 3> DEFAULT_GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
rommon 4> TFTP_SERVER=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
rommon 5> TFTP_FILE=full file name of ios as it reads
rommon 6> TFTP_CHECKSUM=0
this one is in lower case
rommon 7> tftpdnld

If you dont have a tftp server below is a link to a free one
http://www.solarwinds.net/Tools/Free_tools/TFTP_Server/

You will need the .bin IOS image for this and not the .tar file. The .tar file contains router cluster management files that you must issue the archive tar command to load all of the files. Can do that if needed after router is back online.

P.S.: If this information was helpful, please rate this solution.

WiFi not connecting to cisco router

most likely the Palm "listens" on another frequency.

Make sure your cisco is running the Wireless b standard as that is what the Palm Tx needs.

Mixed mode is another option (b and G at the same time)


Let's say your router is supporting the b standard. Knowing the cisco APs a bit, it is also possible to have a channel selected that an older device cannot see/or it is set for another region (which in fact is the same, as frequency ranges are different for each continent).

There are many tools for WIFI analysis, many are free. They will tell you what your router is transmitting at, etc... withouth having to go into the cisco IOS.
