    I know very little in regards to working in the cisco routers os but i have a catalyst 5000 in my office and i want to restore it back to factory defaults. i have a console cable and the 25 pin connector as well as the rj45 connector and a modem on my laptop what is the best way to log into and reset the config back to factory?

      You connect a pc by 25 pin connector and rj45 in the console outlet of the switch. Open the hiperterminal, make a new connection, set a com, configure the port (like 9600,8,none,1,none). After you reset the switch, you must reconnect. You must use a hexa code to reset the switch configuration. I assume that you read it this on Cisco site.

      old trick: Basic serial terminal test

      when you have hyperterminal configured for direct-to-com3 and at ‘connected’ state, connect pins two and three (send and receive) of the serial cable together with a paperclip or anything that is handy. If the computer is sending/receiving data, anything you type will be repeated on the screen wth the paperclip connected, and not repeated when it is not. If this does not happen, then hyperterminal, PC hardware, or cable is configured incorrectly.
