That's the problem... running setup is a destructive if done after a router is already configured. I'm pretty familiar (I work with routers all day). You can give me a call if you like. 217-342-3058.

I selected option 2 which was to write and then the router went offline.

This afternoon, I went into one of our building routers to change the enable, secret, and VT passwords since our former tech director is now no longer with the District. Was able to log in via IP, when I got to the router prompt I entered the setup options, changed the passwords, and then pressed option to to write and save the changed. After that the router became unavailable and hence now I have a building down. I DO have the good configuration copied and printed out and I CAN get into the router via console and HyperTerminal. Where I need help and obviously before 9am tomorrow is how to write the good configuration back into the router and then save that to get the building back online. Then since I have three more buildings to do, maybe some one can tell me a better (less destructive) way of changing the enable, secret, and VT passwords without bring a building down. Thank you for your responses. A beer so far has helped to ease the pain.
