Here it is: if you're on a unix box and connected to a router THROUGH a
terminal server and you want to do password recovery:
<ctrl><shift> ]
This takes you to: telnet>
>From there you enter: send break while the router is reloading
If there's a way to do this from a windows pc, please let me know,
thanks. The break sequences everyone has been talking about thus
far only work when directly connected via console. Again, this is going
THROUGH a terminal server and doing password recovery.
