Cisco 2500 series router help

[mctwin2kman]

Hi,

I have two Cisco 2500 series routers that have been out of service for a while. I want to clear out the original password's and all settings and of course use them to learn some stuff. The problem is they were installed and maintained at my company some years before I started as the IT Manager and the person who configured them is long gone and was not here to give me the info. What I need to know is if there is a way to basically master reset everything and of course set a new password. Since right now they are about as good as paper weights. Can anyone help me out, or at least point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Jamie

Your answer lies over here.

BTW no offense but your an IT manager and you don't know how this is done?

I do not normally configure routers. Something I always wanted to do but never really needed. So now I want to learn and I have two Cisco 2500's waiting to teach me!
