Cisco Router – Troubleshooting Configuration Retention Issues

cisco

I have reset the password on a Cisco 1700 router, now when I copy run start or write mem then reload or reboot, it defaults to factory settings, i.e. it is not holding the configuration I have just written.

To reset the password I used the boot from ROMmon command.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Check your config register running show version. If it shows 0x2142 then it means that on boot router ignores nvram config and loads factory default.

To change that, load router, in configuration mode enter config-register 0x2102. Write memory and reload.
