While learning how to use my Cisco 851W router, I downloaded a configuration script with preconfigured settings. I ran this from the router and now I can no longer boot up and get to a command prompt.
I have tried holding the reset button while turning the router back on, but I guess there is no valid file in flash because it continues loading the config from NVRAM.
Here is the output during bootup. At the last line, it freezes and I can no longer do anything. Any ideas how to recover from this?

The IOS is booting, it looks like something in the config is jacked up and causing it to freeze. Try a password recovery on it and delete the config. Let us know how it goes.

You also may like to look at your console terminal. Could be something faulty with your client or console port which is stopping you from using your keyboard.
