Steps to Reset to Factory Settings
This is the older version of this cable. Cisco now has a newer version, but this is what came with the 501 |
- Find the Console Cable (Blue cable with serial connection dongle). This was my biggest problem!
- Plug the serial side into a old desktop computer, and RJ side into the 501 terminal port
- In Windows, bring up Hyperterminal.
- Use the default Hyperterminal settings, 9600, 8, N, 1
- Once the Cisco shows up within Hyperterminal, go into the configure terminal mode, by typing:
en
(then enter your password)
Once you get authenicated, you should see the pound sign show up at the command prompt, like this:
CISCOPIX# - To get into configuration mode, type:
conf t - Finally, to start the process, type:
configure factory-default - Wait for the unit to reboot and you should be set with a factory-set 501.
