Nexus 93180yc-ex password recovery not working

Recently picked up a Nexus 93180yc-ex from eBay and the seller did not properly wipe the switch before shipping. Switch is in ACI mode and doesn’t seem to want to enter the boot load mode. I’ve tried CTRL+C, CTRL+[, Break key, special command for break key in Putty. Still no luck. Has anyone else had this issue and found a way to reset the password?

That command sequence looks fine, but perhaps check on other device if your Putty settings/console cable are fine.

If they are correct you problem facing an issue with the switch console port, reach out to the seller and see if this was the problem in the first place.

Once you got in use the cmdline recoverymode=1 to boot from the nexus image assuming that you have one, or you need to get one via usb/tftp/other
