I have obtained from work an old cisco 2500 series router, however I cannot telnet into it since trying the password recovery procedure, when I got a message that the baud rate is being changed as it rebooted, since then despite the speed that I tryto connect via telnet i get nothing apart from some times some spurious characters

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved

The default communications settings for the cisco 2500 router are as follows:

9600 baud rate
No parity
8 data bits
1 stop bit
No flow control

Good luck!

Connect up to the console port with a roll over cable and try working from there. If you don't have the cable, these can be picked up for a few bucks on ebay. From there you should be able to configure hyperterminal with your basic settings , get into the router and configure it as needed. You may need to go back through the password recovery process...or even restore from an image on a tftp server.

Good luck, hope this helps.
