Router reset
I have four Cisco Routers I am looking to sell. I only know something about two of them. The other two I have no data on. I know one has never been used. One of the others was used as the router when I began however I was not part of the transition to our current so I do not know if it was cleaned up. The other two I know were used but I don't know when or if they were cleaned up. None of these have active connections. All three were T1 connected routers.
How do I find out if there is still a configuration on them?
How do I reset them?

You may need to change the baud-rate. Sometimes people change the default from 9600 to anything up-to 115200.

I have been swamped with something else. I will try this this week.

When I connect to a couple of them I get nothing. I have tried hyper-terminal and putty. I have changed the settings. It comes up and says connected but I don't get information and I can't type anything. Is this because there is no configuration or am I missing something?
Try toggling between the flow control settings also.
Default is "none"
XonXoff may do the trick, but try hardware also if no result.

What connection are you using for this? I have tried both Putty and HyperTerminal.
What routers are they, and what cable are you using?

My routers are:
2 - Cisco 2901
1 - Cisco 2650
1 - Cisco 2600
I have plugged one of the 2901 and the 2650 in. The 2901 does nothing when I hook it up. The 2650 did come up and ask for a login.
Does this mean the 2901 has nothing on it?

It could mean a number of things but most likely the router could be broken or the baud-rate could be set incorrectly.
ASKER
I will check the baud rate again. The 2901 worked fine a couple months ago when it was disconnected. We switched internet connectivity and went with an ASA when we did so the 2901 was take out. So I don't think it is broken but not impossible I guess.

I was able to get into each of the routers. I guess I was not waiting long enough on a couple of them. I connected then turned on and then used Putty to access. It took a couple of them a minute or so to process. I had to reset some passwords and then I was able to get all of them reset. Each of the solutions had a bit of information that was helpful so I selected them.
