Sam,
You are trying to set the configuration register from un-privileged mode,
you cannot do that. You need to force a break on the boot up while
connected
via console and set it there. Then reload and the router will boot without
reading the start up config. You can then enable and merge the start-up
conf
with running conf. Like So.....
Connect via console and pwr the router up
Hit the break key within 60 seconds of the power-up to put the router into
ROMMON It will look like
ROMMON1>
Type confreg 0x2142 the prompt will change to
ROMMON2>
Type reset
Once it reloads you need to answer "no" to the question above configuring
initial set up
Once you get to the Router> prompt type enable and you should end up with
Router#
You are now past the point where you need the password. You should now
type
" copy start run" and you will have the original config back. From here
you
should type "conf t" and set the enable password to whatever you like.
You must then from the enable prompt type "conf t" and then
config-register
0x2102
Of course if you just want a clean router you could do the opposite and
write mem without copying the start up config. This will in effect give
you
a factory clean router.
Hope this helps.
