Actually there is one more. When the prompt pops up steadily hit the down
arrow (down, down, down, down, ....) it doesn't have to be really fast, just
steady. While you are doing this with one hand you can type whatever you
want with the other hand. If you have the commands down it would probably
be easiest to paste in a script, but I have seen this and done it myself as
well. I have seen it fail once on a laptop, I think it was an issue with
the laptop itself.

There are five ways to recover from this that I know of:
1. Use the aux port if aux configured, switch cable
2. Telnet to the router if vty available
3. Type fast, use space or up/down keys
4. Password recovery, copy start, modify, paste
5. Create script, paste in.
If exec password also changed, 4. is the only choice.
Cheers, Fred.
