Cisco Password recovery-HELP!

Hi. I'm trying to recover the enable pw on a 2501 with IOS 10.2 (bootstrap: 5.2(5) release) and I'm failing miserably. I boot the system up, and send it a break (i'm minicom; ctrl + 6 and ctrl + ^ work as a break on a cisco for me), yet it boots normally, rather than bringing me the ">" prompt. If someone could pleaes contact me ASAP (private e-mail is best) I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Adam
