Here is the documentation i have used so far, none of it seems to work for me?
There are only a few methods you can use to recover from a lost password, but all of them destroy the start-up configuration.
Routers that have nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) chips can be removed and reseated. The NVRAM is implemented with battery-backed up static RAM (SRAM). If you remove the SRAM, the contents of NVRAM are erased as well as the no service password-recovery configuration. Be sure to use proper anti-static procedures when you handle the NVRAM. Some of these routers are 3640 and 3660.
Other routers, such as the 1700, 2600, and 3620, use an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) in order to hold the configuration. The EEPROM does not erase when you remove it.
Another method is to reload or boot the router with console access, and press CTRL-BREAK within five to ten seconds of the Cisco IOS software image decompressing or roughly when the "Image text-base:... " part of the banner begins. You are then prompted to reset the router to factory default (erase start-up configuration).
Or
Recovering a Device
To recover a device once the No Service Password-Recovery feature has been enabled, press the Break key within 5 seconds after the image decompresses during the boot. You are prompted to confirm the Break key action. When you confirm the action, the startup configuration is erased, the password-recovery procedure is enabled, and the router boots with the factory default configuration.
If you do not confirm the Break key action, the router boots normally with the No Service Password-Recovery feature enabled.
Examples
This section provides the following examples of the process:
? Confirmed Break
? Unconfirmed Break
