IF you are Unable to Enter in Router via telnet, or lost the password in Cisco 2600 & 2800, the Cisco has given advantage to recover the password. Now we have to bypass the start up config & Boot from the flash memory then we have to change password.

Step 1. Connect Router with pc throught console port & console cable.

Step 2.set up console setting.

Step 3.Reboot router

Step 4.press break key on keyboard within 60 seconds of power up in order to put router in rom mode. To bypasses the startup configuration where the passwords are stored

 Step 5. Type confreg 0x2142 at the rommon 1> prompt in order to boot from Flash.

Step 6. Type Reset at rommon 2> prompt & router reboot

Step 7 Type Enable at router >prompt

Step 8   now u can see router# mode

Step 8 then copy starts up config to running config
