I broke in to a Cisco 2600 router today, but I didn't have access to my handy sheet that tells me exactly what config-register setting to type in. Instead of 0x2142 I put 0x2124. Now when I hard boot the router it gives me'JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ^JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ^' .

Now, I can't:
-type commands after the "J's" finish appearing
-CTRL break does stop the J's, but nothing on the keyboard works properly so I can't type in any commands
-hard boot gives the same results everytime.(J's) and that's it
-I haven't let the router sit for a while after hard booting it to see if maybe I was a little impatient by trying to type things in before it was done.
-I wont be able to work on the router again until Friday

I would just like to know if someone out there knows what I have done to this poor router and if theres anything I can do to fix it.
Thanks

is your friend.

As is


so, we have bits

3>0 set to 0100. Basically this says boot from flash (IOS image)
5>4 set to 10. This has no affect as they are unused.
6 set to 0. This says Don not ignore contents of Non volotile memory
7 set to 0. This is the OEM bit and means nothing here
8 set to 1. This means that we ignore the BREAK KEY
9 set to 0. This has no affect as it is unused.
14&10 set to 0. This descbribes the broadcast address as all 1's
11&12 set to 0. default console speed to 9600
13 set to 1. This means Boot default ROM software if network boot fails.
15 set to 0. These means, do not Enable diagnostic messages and ignore NVM contents.

Are you sure you didn't mess with the speed og your trminal emulator software?????
