I have this 2610 router and I’m trying to flash a new IOS. The router was given to us so we do not have the passwords. I get to rommon and do “confreg 0×2101″ then “reset” to reboot the router.
The problem is that it loads the installed IOS normally; with the configuration and everything. It’s like it’s completely ignoring the confreg command.

0×2101 just tells the router to load the first IOS it finds in flash and it will use the saved config. If you are trying to do a password recovery and want to bypass the saved config you need to use 0×2142. See this link for full details -http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps259/products_password_recovery09186a0080094675.shtml
Whatever page I was using for that 2101 was obviously incorrect.I now have the router wiped with a default config. I’m trying to load an updated IOS on here. My TFTP server is 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 and I *am* able to ping the router from my computer (tftp server). However, I cannot ping the computer *from* the router. So I cannot TFTP.
int ethernet 0/0
ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
no shut
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ethernet 0/0
copy tftp: flash:
10.1.1.1
filename.bin
And it times out. Am I missing something obvious?
The password recovery procedure states that initial bootup, the config-registry should be 0×2142. I have no idea what proceedure you are following.
