I must be Dum&

[Guest]

Hi All,

I have purchased a second hand 1600 series Cisco Router. I am attempting to
recover the password but to no avail.

What am i missing - i must be dumb or stupid or
both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have an xp operating system. The password recovery instructions advise me
to switch on the router and press cntl-break so that i can get into the ROM
to change the password.

The question is what/where/who/ is the Break key???????????

There is no Break key on the keyboard so i am assuming that it is only a
known key to cisco administrators? Or am i being stupid?

Any help to identify this key combination would be greatly appreciated.

Regards.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_key

On my keyboard, it's called Pause/Break. It's to the right of the Scroll
Lock key and abouve the Page Up key.
