I have problem after recovering my password for cisco 1600 router. Each time I power cycle the router I enter into initial configuration with usual prompt:
   
  Router>
   
  Here is how I recovered my password:
   
  1. Powercycle the router
  2. Put the router into ROMMON  with Break signal
  Then proceed as follows:
   
  rommon>confreg 0x2142
   
  rommon 2 > reset

  . . . 
  . . .
  . . .
   
  Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: n

Press RETURN to get started!
. . . 
  . . .
   
  Router>
Router>enable
Router#copy start run
My-HostName#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
My-HostName(config)#enable secret <MY SECRET>
Router(config)#write
   
   
  I similary changed telnet password.
   
  Is there anywhere where I messed it up? Once again the problem is that each time I reboot the router I get into the initial setup dialog:
   
  Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: n
 and with prompt
   
  Router>
