 2400, and 4800 (there are only four speeds on a 2500). For a 2600 or 3600 ser
ies there are eight speeds possible so you would have to try seven. Disconnect
 and reconnect Hyperterminal for each speed change.

        The other four methods - connect to the aux port and change back to
default,
- telnet into the router and restore default, - type fast using the
enter key or up arrow to keep the sequence going, this is the same as
the script only done manually, - and lastly - use password recovery
techniques to view and copy the startup config to notepad, change
command or delete, and then paste the entire config back into
hyperterm. This last method will work if the exec-ti 0 1 command is
combined with password changes. Before pasting the config back in,
check for other changes, and also change the configuration register back
to 0x2102. No need to reboot after recovery.
