How do I set X440-24p back to Factory Default?

How do I set X440-24p back to Factory Default?

So I setup this new out-of-box switch, I set the admin password, but I can no longer get into it. I obviously set the password to something that I can't seem to replicate. Anyways I am trying to set the switch back to factory default but I am not able to. I go into the bootloader by holding the space bar a the appropriate time. From there all documentation states to perform a config none command and reboot. Well this command is not accepted, it doesn't recognize the 'config' command. I have called TAC and they sent me the same documentation in which I have already read. I have not disabled the failsafe-account, but still has default username and password, but I don't know what they are. There is conflicting documentation on this, TAC stated that has to be manually set, other documentation states TAC has a utility to determine the creds for me. So what is the real deal here????? Getting frustrated.

Call the TAC and ask bootrom 2.0.1.7 which has config none command.

That is an awesome idea, where do I download a bootrom version from???

You may try to downgrade the bootrom version to get the "config none" command back, but it is not recommended.

Well that gets the big WTF

Make it more secure from the BOOTLOADER you disable the command to reset the config, ok whatever. How do I reset the config?? I have definitely tried downloading an image and it states its too large try increasing block size.......

BootRom > config none

config: Command not found. Try 'h' for help!



If we upgrade switch to any EXOS software from BOOTROM, it will erase all information from flash memory (including configuration, XOS image file). Therefore, it will allow you to login into the switch using the default username and password, but it will not show “config none” command. To provide more security we have disabled the “config none” command in 2.0.2.1 bootrom(Latest).
