Router Password Recovery
Interrupting the Router Boot Sequence Your first step is to boot the router and perform a break. This is usually done by pressing the Ctrl+Break key combination when using HyperTerminal and while the router boots.
In Packet Tracer 5, press Ctrl+BREAK (using on-screen keyboard) while the router boots.
