Baud rate mismatch?

If the console settings on the router are different from the settings on the computer, the output on the screen would be a jumble of strange characters. In such cases, try all the possible baud rates to see what baud rate the router is ready to communicate on.

You may want to change the baud rate back to the default value, 9600.
The command to make this change on the router/switch is:

(config)# line console 0
(config-line)# speed 9600

If 9600 doesn't work, try 115200 [which seems to have been what it was in this case ^^^]. I have had several switches come with the BAUD set to 115200. I suspect it is because HBOOT (Switch version of ROMMON) only supports XModem (no TFTP) for installing IOS on a switch with no or corrupt IOS. So, people will max it out to speed up and the transfer and forget to set it back.
