Factory Test Mode?

I have a stumper...

A cow-orker of mine managed to mess up a 2501 router. The router has
reverted to some sort of factory test mode that I am not familiar with.

The symptoms are this:

The console transmits at 2400 baud, but does not respond to input.
I can see the router doing a startup routine that is not normal. At the end
of the routine it asks if I would like to set the memory to "Factory Memory
settings" or something similar. It does not accept any key entries.
It will then start randomly resetting interfaces.
If I let it run for about 20 minutes, it will finally get to the point
where it asks to start the initial configuration dialog.

Has anyone seen this before?
Does a 2500 series router have a "reset to factory defaults" jumper or
something (like shorting the CMOS on a PC)?

Thanks,
