admin down basically means that an adminstrator shutdown the interface for any number of reasons, and if the admin wanted to, they could bring it back up with the 'no shutdown' command.
router> enablerouter# configure terminalrouter(config) interface serial (interface number)router(config-if) no shutdownrouter(config-if) endrouter#substitute (interface number) for the actual int number.. eg serial 0/1you can find the number of the interface by using show interfaces from privileged mode
There is a problem with the interface at the data-link layer that prevents it from functioning properly
Status of "down" means no pc is connected where as "administratively down" depends upon the clock pulse of the interface.

there may be the issue with the layer 2 protocol like hdlc or ppp is not configured or wrongly configured if the interface is serial interface.
The primary interface which would be used for initial configuration of a Cisco router exam is 200-120 In this exam you can get all router related details and also about the primary interface usage probelms and there solutions. To get this exam dump visit the link below... dumpspdf.com/200-120.html
If its your home computer you should be able to just unplug the power to the router and wait 15 seconds or so then plug power back in. It will have no choice but to reset itself. If its a company computer make sure its ok to turn off power to the router before you unplug it.(ask the admin)(or you could screw up any up/down-loads going on).
This may indicate a duplex mismatch between two devices. e.g. a switch and a router. Change both to use auto, instead of hardcoding either half, or full
If you did not write it down there is no easy way "to find it out". But if you did not change default password then you can use one set up by the manufacture: username: admin password: admin If it did not work check the link below for more default passwords because it varies depending on firmware.
For each router, the following steps occur: 1) The "access-group in" command is checked on the interface, and discards the packet if the rule tells it to do so. 2) The "TTL" field is decreased by 1. 3) If TTL is now 0, the router discards the packet and sends a reply packet back to the sender. 4) The packet's IP address is compared to the routing table to determine the next hop of the packet. 5) The router advises if the network or host is unreachable due to a down interface or no known route. 6) The router sends the packet to the outgoing interface's queue to be sent to the next hop. 7) The "access-group out" command is checked on the interface, and discards the packet if the rule tells it to do so. 8) The router sends the packet to the next hop.
loop back never goes down, helps maintaining adjacency of routers if used with routing protocols
