How to reset a Cisco 1941 Router

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To reset a Cisco router to factory default (removing the startup configuration file), perform these
steps:

1. To erase the configuration file, issue the erase nvram: command. Reload the router by
issuing the reload command.

Router#> erase nvram:


Router#> reload

2. If this does not solve the problem, attempt to break into ROM Monitor (ROMmon) by issuing
the break sequence (usually Ctrl and break from the Hyperterminal) from a console
connection. (See: Cisco Standard Break Key Combinations on next page.). You should see
this ROMmon prompt:

rommon 1>

3. Change the configure register value to ignore the startup configuration by issuing the
confreg command, as shown in this example:

rommon 2> confreg 0x2142

4. To reload the router, issue the reset command, as shown in this example:

rommon 3> reset

5. After the router boots, issue the enable command at the Router > prompt. The prompt
changes to Router#, indicating that the router is now in privileged mode.

router> enable

6. To enter config mode, issue the config terminal command. You should now see a
Router(config)# prompt.

Router#> config terminal

7. To change the configure register to recognize the startup configuration, issue the config-
register command, as shown in this example:

Router (config)# config-register 0x2102

8. To break out of configuration mode, press Cntl and Z. To save the blank configuration,
issue the copy-running config-startup config command.

Router#>copy running-config startup-config
