If you read the posts on this forum you will quickly discover that you need a straight-through serial cable. Also dont forget the Ctrl-Y. (don't worry, you are not the only one to assume you need a null-modem cable) :) Excellent – all working as designed then!!!

When you break into the boot menu, select option 5, then hit 1, enter, go back in and do the same for 2 and 3. This erases the 3 config files from flash. Use option 9 after this to boot, and the unit comes up in factory default state. I ran into this today, figured I would post my findings.
