usually this will work.
type the break key when the router boots.
at the prompt type
confreg 0x2142
type reset to boot
the router will boot without running the config which usually holds the password.
delete the config
write erase
reboot
and it should come up without needing a password
of course that will remove the config too.

you don't supply the right information to know if your doing it wrong. So, can't help you much.
a less known ios feature is the:Recovering a Device from the No Service Password-Recovery Feature
look it up

Looks like the system was not fully reset as it is staill asking for TACACS logon. The advice clarson provided basically answers a test question on the CCNA and I have used before. The "reset" command puts you back to factory default. Once you have followed the steps go back to 0x2102You are going to have to try again. -
