Connect to the console port and open the program Hyperterminal Private
Edition. If you do not have this, you can get it at http://www.hilgraeve.com
Reset the 2501 and hit CTRL-BREAK during the boot. Type this at the prompt:
o/r 0x2142
i
The router will now reboot. When the setup dialog box comes up, you can
either accept (which will reconfigure the entire router), or type "no" if
you want to recover the config. If you hit no, type this:
en
config t
config-reg 0x2102
enable secret (whatever password you want goes here)
CTRL-Z
copy start run
copy run start
reload
The router will now restart and you will have the config with your new
password.
The 2621 is a little different. Instead of the o/r command, just use the
config-reg command instead (with the same parameters).
