Dear All,
Can you Please help me with some advice regarding the following issue?
We have a CISCO3945E/K9 for which password recovery functionality was disabled.
I have tried to factory reset the router but i'm not able to break into ROM.
I have tried everything possible, even to remove the flash card but i'm not able to break into ROM...
Do you have any idea how cold I reset the router to factory default?

Hello,
check if your flash actually contains a valid IOS image (dir flash:)...

May be client sending "Ctrl+Break" that is not recognized by the device.

Hi,
Thanks !
But it does't work...
The sequence after that site recommend to issue the brake command does not appear on CISCO3945E/K9 booting process.
