Take a look at this URL which gives a number of standard break key
combinations to send the ASCII break signal, depending on the OS and
terminal emulation.

Microsoft's hyperterminal has many versions and they do NOT all operate
the same.

hi,

sorry for my bad english, i hope you'll understand me !

i've often recovered passwords on cisco 2500 routers. to send a
break-sequence - do the following ( it really works):

configure your terminal with a port speed of 2400baud , then reboot your
router and press the spacebar serveral times when the router comes up. you
can't see anything on your display, but the router is now in rommon, you
only have to change your portspeed back to 9600 baud.

good luck

The procedure should work.  If you are using a laptop or a compute with an
odd keyboard then that is your problem.  Laptop keyboards usually do not
send the proper break sequence to the router since Laptops use one key for
other functions (control, alt, special function..)

If you are using Windows NT then Hyperterm can't send a break.  You need
to get Hyperterm Private Edition which used to be free.  Don't know if
it still is.  If you can't find it there are a bunch of terminal
emulator programs that you can download which will send a break.

I've also heard that if you turn your PC on at the same time as the
router that it will automatically send a break but I've never tried it.
