I have never seen it before but I would try doing a password crack procedure
on the router and bypass the startup config.

Subject: routers can't boot up

Has anyone seen this error message before? I booted up two of my routers,
after seeing the following message, and my routers hung. I don't have
SNMP running in my home lab. Any help is appreciated.

00:00:17: %SNMP-5-COLDSTART: SNMP agent on host r2 is undergoing a cold
start

I checked Cisco website, and got the following explanation. If this is
only notification and no action is required, then why my routers hung?
Tried two times in the row, got same message, and I can't get into the
console.

%SNMP-5-COLDSTART : SNMP agent on host [chars] is undergoing a cold start
Explanation The SNMP server has undergone a cold start.
Recommended Action This is a notification message only. No action is
required.
