Password Login error on Spine Switch

[mplaksin0]

Hello peaple:

I used the followings commands on nexus 9000 switch:

execute the command “setup-clean-config.sh"
• execute the command "ls -al /bootflash/aci-n9000-dk9*". This will list the ACI switch images
on the current leaf or spine node.
• execute the command "setup-bootvars.sh <aci-n9000-dk9.image_name>". This will set the
boot variable for firmware for the ACI leaf or spine node.

I reboot the nexus, but the switch has boot with the data ports in shutdown.

I try to login to the switch, but the admin/default or admin/password username its not working. My previusly used username its not working to.

So i cant login to the switch.

If i remember correctly, after you have executed setup-clean-config.sh, default login should be admin / no password

Thanks, but that its not working:

login as: admin
Nexus 9000 Switch
admin@111's password:
Access denied
admin@111's password:

sorry ... i was not sure. Do you see your spine S/N in the APIC ?

Hi @mplaksin0,

Have you tried the rescue-user account (no password) to log in?

This typically means your switch is not part of the fabric and will need to be removed (if you didn't do that before wiping it) and re-discovered.

Finally id made a factory default of the spine, because, no other password works.
