Ziyad- if you got no response from the console using your Terminal Emulation software, then you probably should verify that the config-register is set correctly.
Rest the router, and within the first 10 seconds of seeing output from the router initilizing (processing its "POST"), give the break-sequence command, i.e., CTRL-Shift-F6, and see if you can get into ROMMON> mode. If you can, issue the config-register command to specify factory defaults: config-reg 0x2102. Follow this with the 'Reset' command, and see if you can't get any keyboard response to the Initial Configuration dialogue when it reboots.
