RE: modifying configuration registrar inside cisco 2600 so as to change password

["Andrew Shore" <andrew.shore () holistecs com>]

What terminal software are you using?

If it's the one that ships with windows (vitually every version) there
is a bug that stops break working.

Go to the hilgreave site (see the help about) and download the personal
version.


This should do the trick. Or ofcourse use a completely different
terminal enulator (there are plent of shareware ones about!)

Hope this helps

The original boot config may have been set to ignore the break sequence.
That may be why you are unable to get it to respond to the break
sequence.
