CISCO 836 router (ADSLoverISDN)

[morbfrhtc]

Hi,I need help with password recovery for CISCO 836ADSLoISDN router. I made some password recovery procedures with routers of 800 series in past, but now, I wasn't successfull in finding some kind of step-by-step help for 836 router. I only found documents for 827 and other models. So I want to ask: Is it possible to do password recovery on this model? ;-(

I read something about "no password recovery" feature with this model(version of ronmon???). Is it true?

Thanks a lot. I didn't think that password-recovery procedure for 800 will be good. I found that no password-recovery feature is some kind of protection to disallow password-recovery from console(it sets 0 on 8th bit of configuration register. This bit handles ability to use break sequence during router startup. If it is set you have only 5 seconds to send break sequence AND the most important thing is that your startup-configuration will be entirely erased ;o).

You've really helped me, so thanks again. Another problem has been solved. ;o) - it's my motto.
