• Hi, does anyone know how to break on MacOS using Packet Tracer? I've tried (Ctrl + C, Ctrl + Shift + C, Cmd + C) nothing works.
  I also haven't seen the setting to see the keyboard shortcut mappings and how change a certain shortcut. This is making me go insane. Can anyone please help? Thank you.

  How can I save the config and go forward to change password?

• Great video. Please be aware that you don't need a PC to do this in Cisco Packet tracer as you can power off the router from Physical Device View and use the CLI.

• This is too much. Maybe I just buy a new one 😲

• I set line console as login local i'm fucked and didnt run copy start

• break key function on laptops?

• Thanks

• Greetings, one question, Does it work with Cisco 3650 SW?

• Very good!!!

• There is a much easier way to get in…. cause PacketTracer knows its own passwords 😛
  Just click on the router, go to config, click "save conf" and it will log you in with the right password.
  After goin back to the cli, you will see that you are in the privileged mode. 🙂

• omg you saved my whole semester <3 ty so much

• why do we have to go to rommon mode when we can change config-register in global configuration mode, anyway?
