The command to clear the terminal screen in a Cisco router using Putty is the "terminal length 0" command.
You can enter this command by logging into the Cisco router and typing the command in the command-line interface (CLI) and press enter:
terminal length 0

Keep in mind that the "terminal length 0" command is only effective for the current session, and if you log out or restart the router, the setting will be lost. If you want to make the change permanent you can configure it on the running configuration using the configure terminal command and then use the terminal length 0 command.

First, you're a year too late to the discussion.

Next, "reset" only works in alarm mode and does not reset the terminal or clears the screen.

"clear line" isn't even a command in IOS, last I checked.
