Help!! God knows what I'v done to my 2500. I did this first

How to Simulate a Break Key Sequence
This is useful if your terminal emulator doesn't support the break key, or if a bug prevents it from sending the correct signal (the hyperterminal under Windows NT used to suffer from this behavior):

Connect to the router with the following terminal settings:

1200 baud rate

No parity

8 data bits

1 stop bit

No flow control

You no longer see any output on your screen. This is normal.

Power cycle (switch off and then on) the router and press the spacebar for 10-15 seconds. This generates a signal similar to the break sequence.

Disconnect your terminal and reconnect with a 9600 baud rate. You should now be in ROM Monitor mode.

If all the preceeding methods have failed to properly send a break, you should retry the procedures using a different terminal or PC platform.

now the router is telling me this:
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from memory by console
%SYS-5-RESTART: System restarted --

%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial1, changed state to administratively down
%TAC-6-SENDTMO: Send type 8 to 194.72.6.66 timed out

I can't type or do anything :( any help welcome

Sounds to me like your emulator..

Try a new one..
(looks like you screwed up your run cfg.. hopefuly you got that documented on what it should be once you do you get back into it)

may need to update your version of hyperterminal some versions do not support the break function hope this is helpful
