The startup-config is in the bootflash: memory. It sees it when it boots up, but it won't apply it. It was password lost, so i performed a password recovery from this

URL: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr920/b_Chassis_Guide_asr920/using-ztp.html#concept_kdv_g2c_1db

The Password Recovery section told me to execute this code:

• Press Break on the terminal keyboard within 60 seconds of power up to put the router into ROMMON. In some cases Ctrl+Break key combination can be used.

• Type confreg 0x2142 at the ROMMON.

  1> confreg 0x2142 
  1>sync

  The router reboots, but ignores the saved configuration.

• The router will reload and prompt for configuration.Type no after each setup question, or press Ctrl-C to skip the initial setup procedure.

• Type enable at the Router> prompt.

  You are now in enable mode and should see the Router# prompt.

• Reset the config-register from 0x2142 to 0x2102. To do so, type the following:

  config-register configuration_register_setting

  Where, configuration_register_setting is 0x2102. For example,

  (config)# config-register 0x2102

I'm extremely new to Cisco. Please help!

      - Please echo verify the config register setting after you specify it,

 - Can you manually copy startup-config to running-config ?

Hello,

can you post the output of:
