Focusone....I've got the procedures. Can your buddy get his hands on another? I'd be real interested in it. Here is the procedure.....

1) Enter ROM Monitor mode. Power cycle the router and within 60 seconds after the router comes up, press the break key.

2) Enter the o command in order to "read" the configuration registers original value.
example: >o
or you can use: e/s 2000002

3) set bit 6(along with the original bit settings)in order to ignore NVRAM on boot up.
example: >o/r 0x*****

4) Initialize and reboot the router.
example: >i

5) in SETUP mode, answer No to all questions.(Just say NO! hehehehe)

6) Enter priveleged mode.
example: Router> enable

7) Load NVRAM to active memory.
example: Router# configure memory

8) Restore the original config register value and enable all interfaces.
example: hostname# configure terminal
hostname(config)# congfig-register 0x value
hostname(config)# interface xx
hostname(config-if)# no shutdown

9) Recover/record lost password
example: hostname# configure terminal
hostname(config)# line console 0
hostname(config-line)# login
hostname(config-line)# password xxxxxxxxx
hostname(config-line)# Cntrl-Z
hostname# write memory

Enjoy it...if you don't put the router to good use, let me know and i'll be glad to take it off of you hands.
