Was attempting to retrieve password using the Password Recovery Procedure . http://www.ehow.com/how_4711281_reset-password-cisco-router.html

I was able to get as far as step 4:

"Type "confreg 0x2142" at the rommon >1 prompt in order to boot from the flash chip. The reason for performing this step if to bypass the configuration startup which is where the passwords are maintained. The next step is to type "reset" at the rommon 2> prompt which will restart the router but effectively bypasses the currently saved configuration which is exactly what we want the device to do. "

After typing rommon2>reset I am only getting a bunch of garbage displayed on my hyperterminal. The attached image displays the output that I am getting everytime the router is reloaded.

Can anyone help and let me know what went wrong and what I must do to fix this problem?

thankyou
