I can't reset cisco switch 2960x series from the flash

Hi Brothers,

 

I faced an issue with my Switch 2960x series, I did many steps to boot by clear configuration but without any result.

Also when I check my files in flash I found many files, I don't know if this normal or not.

switch: dir flash:
Directory of flash:/

2   -rwx 3639           <date> config.old
3   -rwx 34               <date> pnp-tech-time
4   -rwx 11112         <date> pnp-tech-discovery-summary
5   -rwx 676             <date> vlan.dat
6   -rwx 9519           <date> config.text
7   -rwx 24457216   <date> c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-4.E7.bin
8   drwx 512             <date> dc_profile_dir
10   -rwx 1924         <date> private-config.text
11   -rwx 2673         <date> config.text.backup
12   -rwx 1914         <date> private-config.text.backup
13   -rwx 2072         <date> multiple-fs 

 

As I said before when I'd follow the steps below:

https://www.sunsetlearning.com/password-recovery-steps-for-cisco-catalyst-switches/

 

I see this message during boot:


switch: boot
Loading "flash:c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-4.E7/c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-4.E7.bin"...flash:c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-4.E7/c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-4.E7.bin: no such file or directory

Error loading "flash:c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-4.E7/c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-4.E7.bin"

Interrupt within 5 seconds to abort boot process.

The idea just, I want to recover the password that's it, can someone give me a hand, please?

So, I have deleted the config.text.old & config.old,because I saw that the switch, not booted from both files.
