I am trying to factory reset CE500 switch, as described in the factory rest section of the documentation. I do not get an IP address via DHCP from the switch.
On boot up I hold the setup button down, wait till the lights go solid amber release setup. wait for a port on the switch to start blinking green port 1 starts blinking green, plug my pc into port and wait for IP..and keep waiting !!!!
I have tried this on 3 switches now all with the same result.... NO IP offered.
I'm trying to do a Master reset on my Catalyst Express 500 (WS-CE500-24TT v01) and I'm having troubles with this. url...I do everything as it says, but when I plug the cable and I pull up the Web browser nothings appear, just the message that I don't have a Internet connection. The LED port on switch don't stop blinking as LED setup either. Is there another way to do the master reset?
I recently decomissioned an 871 from a small business site and the owner did not want the device anymore. So now I'm trying to use it back at the office in the sandbox, however I don't know the password to the device and neither does the business owner. There's a reset button on the back, but from what I've read (here), it only loads a different config file found on the internal flash. Tried this, no dice. Is this essentially a bricked router now or is there anything else I can do to clear the config and repurpose it for my use?
We have inherited a Catalyst Express 500 (model WS-CE500-24PC) from a company we aquired, and are having issues configuring the switch.
The switch must have been configured previously, but we don't know its IP address. It is no longer on the network, so we can restart it as much as we need to.
We followed the factory reset process:
1) Disconnect the switch from the power supply 2) Reconnect the switch while holding the "SETUP" button 3) Release the "SETUP" button when the status LEDs all turn Amber 4) Wait for POST to complete 5) Connect one PC to the port whose LED starts flashing
However, the PC is never given an IP address, and when we open a web browser, anything we try to browse to gives us "Page cannot be displayed", rather than the setup page for the switch.
Are there any known issues or browser/OS incompatibilities with this model of switch? We're using Vista and Windows 7 with IE7, IE8 and Firefox 3.
I have a cisco 800 that needs to be reset back to factory defaults. I tried typing in "config factory-default 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0" at the conf t prompt, but I got an error Invaild input detected at ^ (the ^ is just under the word factory). So after a bit of reserch I came across this command "write erase" that seemed to do something but now I can't get any ip addreses. Here is the running config:
Using 1104 out of 131072 bytes ! version 12.4 service config
I have been trying to reset my Cisco 4507 R-E with sup 10GE engines, and I am not having any luck. I have followed the following document:

I have tried "wr erase" and "erase startup-config." I cannot delete the vlan.dat file either. I am using the command "erase cat4000_flash:vlan.dat" and its not working either. I have done these commands several times with no success. When asked if I want to save the config changes, I am answering with a "no" I have not tried to depress the small "reset" button on the front of the sup engines as I read that this just restarts the switch.
I reset my Cisco 2911 ISR to the factory defaults. I then used the configuration guide to do the initial set-up through the CLI. I was able to assign IPs to the GE0/0 and GE0/1 ports. Now I cannot access the GUI device manager at all. I was able to ping the IP of GE0/0 so I know the adapter took the IP assignment, but still no GUI access.
I have a cisco 2960 that I seemed to have lost the password. Its just a test switch. I would like to know how to reset it to factory default. I have managed to get to a switch: prompt by holding in the small mode button on the front of the switch and pluging in the power but lost from here.
Im trying to access the switch to reset the password to factory defaults (please see switch output Astrix has removed customer identifying information for security purposes.) Each time I reboot the switch and try and access the password recover mode this same output below starts and im still not able to access the recovery area of the switch

For any still having trouble with the intial config of a CE500 Switch using Windows 7 / Vista...
Sure all of you have heard of the setup button and how to use it, its obvious Windows 7 / Vista do not properly recieve the DHCP, maybe an issue with the some new Microsoft legislation, the install address of the device in its setup phase, which you can read by the setup led burning steadily is 169.254.0.1
You wont be able to connect to this address in Windows 7 / Vista if you configure it statically, you will be able to view the Gratituous ARP from the Device using Wireshark, in the Windows 7 / Vista network adapter tci/ip v4 settings click on the advanced tab, there enter 169.254.0.1 as the default gateway, press the Setup button on the switch, wait for it to blink, connect your utp cable to port 1 check that the Setup LED is burning stable, type 169.254.0.1 into your web browser and enter a management IP address for the switch, alternatively use Cisco Network Assistant.
I try change the configuration the port in the switch catalyst express 500, i need disable switch port port-security, a try with http://10.1.1.1/exec and save configuration with wr command, if a check the configuration de port is correct but i reboot the switch and check the configuration the port appear the switch port port-security configuration again.
I forgot the user for management a IPS SSM-10, when i follow the procedure to reset the password for cisco user, i can get into the module, i change the password and every thing is OK, but when i tried to configure y don´t have rights to do anything.
if i see the privileges for the user cisco this is the result. [code]
I've inherited a IAD2430 router but I don't have the ena passwords nor am I able to do a break and do a password recovery. I'm familiar with the password recovery process and config reg settings but this one has me stumped.
The config register is set to 0x2102 so I see nothing at all when it boots until it's completed and I get the prompt to "Press RETURN to get started!" I get to non priv mode but without the password obviously I'm going nowhere at that point. All the docs I've come across so far assume you can break out of the boot process or are already in rommon. When I remove the flash: I get no output at all... The IAD has no "reset" button like the CAT switches either.. I don't need the current config, just a reset/format of the NVRAM.
I have an AIR-AP521G-E-K9 and i want to reset to factory default in CLI.I tried "write erase" but dont work.I have problems with access-list and i want to desactivate access-list that i have created by web GUI.The problems now is that i can not access to my AP, no ping, no web GUI access.Access that i have is only by CLI, but access list is always blockinh all tha traffic trought my AP.How can i desactivate mac filtering, or how can i reset to factiry default
We've recently changed data line providers and now have some Cisco 877 routers we'd like to reconfigure and use at other sites. Although we own these, they were configured by our old data line providers, I'm having a hard time of resetting them to factory defaults. The simple, hold down the reset button until it restarts does not work.If I press the reset button within 5 seconds of power up to load the default rom image, I get the below:
System Bootstrap, Version 12.3(8r)YI4, RELEASE SOFTWARE Technical Support: [URL] Copyright (c) 2006 by cisco Systems, Inc.

[code]....
I assume from this the required bin has either been removed, renamed or overwritten.As soon as the router boots it requires a password and I dont have the password to be able ftp files in and out of it.
i got the ACS 5.1 at work..after migrating the data from 4.1 a lot of data got changed into the 4.1 so I needed to reset my configuration (since i played around with the 5.1)after doing so, I can't access the web page, to start the configuration again tried the administrator-setup but it didn't work,
I can't figure this out and there isn't much documentation on the subject online. The reset button just resets the device even after holding it for 10+ seconds and there is nothing in the CLI.
I successfully pulled it out of the box and already broke it.
What I did to lose my connectivity to it (via IP, console is OK), but I'd like to start from scratch and during my learning/experimentation I will undoubtedly need to do this over and over until I get things right.
I've found various guides, none of which look like what I am after. Basically, I want to return this to the condition that it was in when it came out of the box. IOS is version 12.4(6)T11 .
I have a cisco PIX-515e which i have connected to a emulator through the console port, and im having trouble erasing data from it. I can get into 'pixfirewall' mode and 'monitor' mode but thats as far as i get. i have tried 'write erase' and 'configure factory-default' in both modes to no success.
I put a config on this switch and it is having some issues I would like to take it back to out of the box state however I am not sure how to do this ? I do not need to blow away the IOS just the config I put on it

The IP address is unknown and we need to reset the switch. SInce we can't access the configuration menus. I was wondering if we could reset this device to factory defaults another way. I couldnt locate a reset switch.
I have a WRV210-A V01 (Software: 2.0.1.5) router that when originally purchased I upgraded the firmware to the newest 2.0.1.5. However after the firmware upgrade the router has not worked right since. [I thought maybe the upgrade did not take, and successfully pushed the firmware 3x times]
Everytime you login to the webpage the right-side pane you have to scroll down 3x pages until you can see the settings options. It does that for everypage you visit you have to scroll down 3x pages until you can see the settings.
The wireless is sporadic and dropping connections, and now certain options like changing the "Basic Rate:" from "All' to "Default" does nothing and wont let you change it.
The main issue I have is that certain wireless settings like changing the "AP Isolation:" cause the router to reset back to factory defaults. and even trying to configure the LAN setup also randomly makes the router reset to factory default.
Is there any possible way to factory reset an AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 that was once attached to a WLC via SSH? I dont have physical access to it and the old WLC has long been decommissioned. I have tried the clear command but since it is in CAPWAP mode that command has been disabled. I know I can press and hold the mode button and reset it that way but I need to know if its possible through SSH to be reset. I have two that are in need of being reset in order to connect to the new WLC.
Unable to log in into our new ESW 540 switch because the default User ID and PW was changed. How do i restore the factory default on the switch.Can't get into the switch with CCA or explorer.
Im connecting to my firewall through the console port, and need to know how to reset it to factory defaults. I have looked around online and can not see any reference on how to do this.
i have a new 5505 and i have done a few configurations on it. When i try to reset it to the factory settings via asdm i get an error saying it could not be done. I have used config-factory-default using the cli option available in the asdm. I am using asa 8.2 and asdm 6.2. Will erasing the flash reset to factory defaults.
