I'm rather new to this cisco router technology -- taking a class in it at the local community college with the hope of moving up from desktop tech/helpdesk to network engineering. However, our class in basic router tech just covered this topic, so I feel I can add something constructive. What we've been taught to do to "zero out" a router is to get a text copy of a clean router configuation and use it to reset the router by pasting the data into a telnet app and sending it from there. So, if you can get a copy of the router's original configuration, you can use it to reload the baseline configuation after doing the Router# erase start command. This can be done from the global config level of the IOS. Hope this helped.
