Reset my lab cisco router 2600 to factory default settings

[dexter864]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to set up home lab. I have purchased 2600 router from ebay but is password protected. I'm using Putty terminal and console cable with USB-Serial adapter. All configured 9600, 8, None, 1. Unable to send the CTR+BREAK sequence. I was trying to follow many different YouTube tutorials unsuccessfully. Please help.

Hi,

The router may have the command 

no service password-recovery

Have a look at this document for how to recover after this command is applied.
