I got this problem: on my 804 router, I deleted my IOS on the flash card, so when I boot, I get in the tinyrom boot> prompt. From there, I can't go in privilege mode because I lost my password.
So my question is: Is there a way to recover the password of the enable mode in boot> mode ?
This mode is the mode you end up in if you send BREAK while booting, letting you bypasse the configuration password, but since it is password protected.. how can I bypass this?
thanks

This will help with the password:

You will need to Xmodem a new IOS into your router. See this:

Thanks for the answer., but like I said in my post, when I get to the tinyrom image, I get to the prompt boot> (that is not privileged mode).
When I try to do a set command, or anything like undelete, It says I don't have the permissions. the only thing I can do is enable, which need a password.
Since it is in the bios of the router, I can't password recovery.
here's some output:
TinyROM version 1.0(2)
