Try following method with Hyper Terminal :
 
Complete these steps to simulate a break key sequence:
 
Connect to the router with these terminal settings:
 
1200 baud rate
 
No parity
 
8 data bits
 
1 stop bit
 
No flow control
 
You no longer see any output on your screen, and this is normal.
 
Power cycle (switch off and then on) the router and press the SPACEBAR for 10-15 seconds in order to generate a signal similar to the break sequence.
 
Disconnect your terminal, and reconnect with a 9600 baud rate. You enter the ROM Monitor mode.
 
<after getting into ROMMON follow below steps>
 
rommon 1 > confreg 0x2142
rommon 2 > reset
 
 
Router#copy startup-config running-config
Router(config)#enable secret < password >
Router#show ip interface brief
 
<unshut the shutdown interfaces>
 
Router(config)#config-register 0x2102
Router#copy running-config startup-config
 
<restart router>
