cisco 1941 password recovery help please!

I have just purchased a used cisco 1941 router. I have tried several key combinations while I am connected through putty console. I have tried ctrl + shift + x + 6 and ctrl + pause/insert and ctrl + shift. I rebooted the router while still being connected to the console/session and keep getting the  below screen.
