Resetting the Router, Clearing the Passwords, and Clearing the Router

Resetting the router: Boots the router, regardless of the current operating mode.

Clearing the password(s): Removes the current password(s), if any, without interrupting the current state of the router. This protects you from being denied console, Telnet, TFTP, or network manger access if you have forgotten the password(s).

Clearing the router: Removes the current password(s), erases the current configuration, and boots the router in its default (factory) configuration. Use this feature only if you are prepared to lose the router’s current configuration.

The Reset and Clear buttons are located to the left of the console port:
