Cisco Switching/Routing :: Reset 800 Back To Factory Defaults?
Jan 16, 2012
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

I am trying to setup a new LG dp200 blue ray player to my home network and cannot get it to connect, but i can use my phone on it and my xbox. Ive reset the modem and reset the player back to factory defaults after a few failed attempts.
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.
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
cisco WS-C3560G-48PS (PowerPC405) processor (revision F0) with 122880K/8184K bytes of memory.
Processor board ID FOC1133Y28Q Last reset from power-on 1 Virtual Ethernet interface 52 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces The password-recovery mechanism is enabled.
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 .
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.
We've lost our WRT120N's administrator password and are trying to reset it to factory defaults.One peculiar thing that we have noticed is that the router has an IP of 192.168.106.1 rather than the default of 192.168.1.1 (this is verified by the default gateway, as well as a login prompt when 192.168.106.1 is put into a browser).Things we've tried to do to reset the router:
1) Press and hold the reset button at the back of the router for 30 seconds
2) Press and hold the reset button at the back of the router for 60 seconds
Interestingly, doing either of these things seemed to have no effect on the status lights.
I flashed the firmware and the ipv6 automatic is on disabled and I cannot set it to enabled.the 6rd tunnel option I can change but that has not effect- in fact from what I looked up it seems to be something used by some cable providers.hate to have to reset the router to factory defaults and then reset the network up - just to see if i can get the option to set IPV6 auto to enabled.
On a 6500 switch running ios 12.2, is there a way of clearing all config settings for a specified interface? I want to avoid going through and having to type "no blah blah etc" for each line.
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

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 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 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:
[URL]
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 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.
I'm part way through trying to set a Catalyst 4510R to factory defaults, One thing I'm stumped on is how do i remove the Customer Disclaimer eg what commands do i need to remove this and any other customer text within the switch, see below copy of text from the switch with customers details omitted.

I have tried to reset a Cisco 2811 to factory defaults to no avail. The system is locked, meaning it's set to go immediately to username and password before doing anything else after boot up. I cannot get to ROMMON, nor can the CTRL-B break sequence allow me the option. THere is a "no-password recovery" option that apparently is set (or unset?) but I cannot work with that.
I am a newbie with the routers, but I have tried various CTRL-B breaks from bootup, to particular times through the boot up sequence.
I do NOT have "enable" (also known as "privileged EXEC") access on the router. The router, when purchased, had a username and PW that is required to even get to the basic level 1 access. Without it the PW, I can't even get to exec mode.
I wanted to load the factory defaults for my 881W so I could get a clean start. Following this Cisco article: [URL]. I used the following commands while tel netted in via an ether net cable to one of the ether net ports: router#configure terminal router(config)#config-register 0x2102router(config)#end router#reload System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n Proceed with reload? [confirm] .
Once I hit enter to proceed with the reload, the router power cycled. From that point forward, I never got a link light or connection via my ether net cable to the router on any of the ether net ports (0,1,2,3). I can get a link light on WAN FE4, but no DHCP ip address to telnet in. I do not have a Cisco USB console cable, which is why I've been trying this via my ether net cable. Hopefully, I didn't ***** up the router.
I purchased a WRV210. I configure the device, setup all my tunnels, WAN, LAN, Wirelss, Security, etc. and within 48 hours it "automatically" resets itself back to "out of the box" settings. This has happened twice now - once after it ran for about 4 days and the second time after only 5 or so hours of opperation.
Is this a known issue with the device? Is there an update I need to apply? I'd give ya my current FW version but I cannot login as it appears to have rest once again lol - and my tunnels are down so no remote access.
I made a backup of the config after the first unscheduled reset - (.bin file) so I have my settings ready to restore.
I have a Linksys SRW2008MP that I am trying to reset to factory defaults. The guy who set this up is no longer employed at my company, and I do not know the IP address to login with a web browser. The switch does not have a reset button on the back. I follow the instructions from Cisco's website, which include connecting a console cable and using HyperTerminal to login. I can connect to the switch and watch it boot up in HyperTerminal. However, when I get to the point of inputting user name and password (which should be 'admin' and '<blank>', I can't figure out how to make to terminal emulator accept the input (much like pressing the Enter button in a web browser). According to the pictures on Cisco's website, there should be an Action -> Edit -> Execute option down below the login, but I don't see it, so maybe the switch has to verify my credentials before I get to that prompt?
This is the first time in my life using HyperTerminal, and I think that's where my problem is. How do I get HyperTerminal to accept my input?
I have also tried using TeraTerm, a different console cable, and a different computer.
I have an 1841 (256M w/ crypto card) that stopped booting. I reset it to factory defaults as per Cisco's directions, then began to setup with Cisco Configuration Professional. On the next reload I get this:
program load complete, entry point: 0x8000f000, size: 0xcb80 program load complete, entry point: 0x8000f000, size: 0xcb80 [code]...
The ios on the flash is "c1841-advsecurityk9-mz.124-22.T.bin"
I've just bought a pair of WAP121 for testing and validation. I've set it up properly (user/password, IP, management vlan, NTP, SNMP, 802.1x, etc). So far, so good, everything worked as expected. I've downloaded the configuration to my PC, and also saved it to startup-config. I've powered off the unit, went for a coffee, and powered it back. All my settings were lost.
Tried to restore settings from the file downloaded to my PC, but no luck. After reboot, it was factory clean, no trace from settings in the backup file. I've set it up again by hand, power cycled it, and the **** thing reloaded to default settings.
Faulty unit, I thought, so I opened the other one I have, and repeated the whole thing, but same results. Test were made using the power adapter supplied but also tried with a catalyst 2960 with PoE.
I have a 4500 Catalysts switched (4510 R ) that require the configuration to wiped back to factory default setting, How would i go about clearing the configuration on each module board
The chassis consists of
2 x Supervisor engines v WS-X4516 with Flash cards 4 x WS x84448 GB RJ45 48 port switches 1 x WS x4306 GB Switch Module
I also have a Catalyst 6500 that requires each module within the chassis to we wiped back to factory defaults
1 x Supervisor engine WS X 6k SUP 2- 2GE 1 x WS X6416 G-Bic 16 port GB Ethernet 4 X WS X 6148 CE-TX Base T GE 10/100/1000 1 x WS X6348 48 Port Inline Power Capable
And i have a Catalyst WS - C 6513 with the following Module card that need the configuration wiped to Factory defaults as well
I've been using Linksys for years but the last two routers I have purchased have been very problematic.
- My router hasn't had this problem before. The other day I was downloading 4 games at a time from STEAM, when I got home from work I found that my router had completely gone back to factory settings. So I configured my DSL PPPoE, SSID, Wireless Security (WPA) changed the default admin PW and about 20 minutes later it was back to factory again.
I've done a "hard" reset and reconfigured and still it resets itself. What's also upsetting is this completely opens my network up to ANYONE when this happens...
So far in the past 2 days I have (now using a backup restore file) re-configured the device 10 times.
The only thing I can think of is that I just got Windows 7 the same day this started happening. I thought it could be STEAM as well so right now I have STEAM closed to see if it resets while it isn't running.
Could TOO much demand on the router cause it to completely reset itself to factory config?? Seems to me like there's a huge firmware or hardware problem here.
I have other friends and even co-workers that also have problems galore with their Linksys products...No other router it seems has as MANY issues as Linksys. Hat to say it but my next purchase most likely will not be another one of their products. This just shouldn't be happening.
today I got up and discovered that my WRT160Nv3 router has resetted to factory defaults itself, the name of the Wifi network was "linksys" and all configurations were the defaults...
I just upgraded to a E3000 from a WRT54G and I am having some issues with network speed.I have no special settings and have even tried restoring factory defaults and upgrading to the latest firmware to no avail.The time I notice the biggest hit is when transferring files locally on the network (WiFi and LAN).Let me note that I do know the difference between MB/s & Mb/s and the like.I have Comcast 20Mb/s Down, 1.5Mb/s Up (just a FYI, the main issue is local transfers)
With default settings my Laptop (ASUS N82JQ, Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter), connects to the router at only 65Mb/s (with full signal).Upload seems to be more decent ~600KB/s (Transferring files from wireless n laptop to the gigabit desktop).Download seems to be limited to ~150KB/s (Copying files from the wired gigabit desktop to the wireless n laptop).These speeds are horrible! ~5hrs to transfer 3GB of data!
One of my laptops had a card that was capable of both 2.4 & 5Ghz and I was previously getting ~2000-5000KB/s (2-5MB/s) transfers with this router (But I had to do a system restore on it and reset the router). My ASUS laptop seems to only work with 2.4Ghz though. If I change the 2.4Gh Wireless settings on the router to "Auto(20MHz or 40MHz)" the laptop will connect at 150Mb/s, but the speeds are the same slow speeds as above.
I have a Cisco 8510msr that is connected back to back with a 7206vxr across a 155Meg connection.I receive lots of Output drops on the 7206vxr interface facing the atm switch. When I do the following command:-
kwdair9#sh atm int atm 1/0Interface ATM1/0:AAL enabled: AAL5 , Maximum VCs: 4096, Current VCCs: 27 Maximum Transmit Channels: 0Max. Datagram Size: 4528PLIM Type: SONET - 155000Kbps, TX clocking: LINECell-payload scrambling: ONsts-stream scrambling: ON797522 input, 881483 output, 203946630 IN fast, 223768062 OUT fast, 0 out dropVBR-NRT : 110288 Avail bw = 44712 <====
I only have 44megConfig. is ACTIVEkwdair9# I only get 44Meg of the available 155Meg.There is no QOS on the router and the only commands I can find that vaguely see that refer to QOS are on the ATM switch:-
atm address 47.0091.8100.0000.0007.0d87.b201.0007.0d87.b201.00atm router pnnino aesa embedded-number left-justifiednode 1 level 56 lowest redistribute atm-static?why this is acting like a DS3 link and not a 155Meg link?
I have two site that has a copper wire ( 2 wire) connection between each router ( No Telco in between ). Now I want to use 1921 router with HWIC-4SHDSL-E card to connect these two site together. Can I use attach configuration to make the connection reference from the diagram ?
