Because the assorted terminal programs all send a "break" command differently, here's how I do it.
Create a session in HyperTerminal at 1200 baud (8N1). Save this session as "break-console" or something similar.
Open that session, and reboot the router.
Hit the space bar until you see a bunch of junk on the screen. Basically, the space bar at 1200 baud = "break" in a router.
At that point, close that session, and reconnect at 9600-8-N-1 and you'll be in the Rommon.
The prompt should be Rommon_1>
At that prompt, type confreg 0x2142 and hit return
It'll tell you that you need to reset or reload, so type reset, and the router will reload without reading the startup-config file, which gives you factory defaults.
