Hi,

What is the make of the converter?

Not all converters will work but I know of the ones that have "Prolific" chipsets that work well. Have a look on Ebay there should be loads and some will mention support for break sequences that work for password recovey.

Hope this helps.

Are you using the correct com port?

Change Port Settings (change to COM1) or use other com port

You need to look to see what com port it is using. Can't just guess at it. It's in your device manager area listed under com ports.
