When you enter the setup mode after the router is restarted, do not perform any configuration.
Could you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]: yes
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no : Setup mode with no configuration
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#no enable secret : delete the password
Router(config)#line console 0 : delete the password
Router(config-line)#no password : delete the password
Router(config)#config-register 0X2102 : Change the register values to default
Router(config)#exit

Check and save the setting into NVRAM:

Router(config)#exit : Exit the router configuration mode
Router#show run : Check the configuration
Router#show version : Check the register value
Router#copy run star : save the settings
Router#reload : Restart the router
