resetting cisco 2900 router to factory default using Cisco Configuration Professional

hello Expert,
 
I have a 2900 series router and i am using Cisco Configuration Professional .

I am trying to reset same to factory default but i not finding an option to do so.

I know using the SDM there is an option Configuration Management and one of the option is a tab to reset to a factory default.

I not seeing that option when using Cisco Configuration Professional.

Regards

hi

to reset a cisco sw 2900, press the mode button on the front of the switch for a while, til you see the rebooting, then it'll be reset
i'm sorry i confuse with the recovery password procedure

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps607/products_tech_note09186a00800c4546.shtml

To reset the switch to factory default, issue the erase startup-config or write erase command. This command does not clear the boot variables, such as config-register and boot system settings. You can alter the boot system parameters with the boot command. In Catalyst 4500/4000 and 6500/6000 series switches running Cisco IOS Software, you can change the configuration register value with the config-register command.
This example shows how to reset a switch running Cisco IOS Software to factory defaults with the write erase command:
Cat2950# write erase
Erasing the nvram filesystem will remove all files! Continue? [confirm]y[OK]
Erase of nvram: complete
Cat2950#
Cat2950# reload

System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n    

!--- Do not save the configuration at this prompt. Otherwise, the switch
!--- reloads with the current running configuration and does not reset to default.

Proceed with reload? [confirm]y
