Until you are running a code that has the fix for CSCsw49543, you need to unplug physically the cables connecting the Nexus 5000 to your AAA server, so there is a fallback that can happen and use the local authentication. Once you run a code with this fix, it changes the console auth login to be only local after the password recovery is done, so you won't have to unplug your cables going to the AAA server anymore.
I've been trying to reset the 5K. It just doesn't work. I found exact same document for password recovery. It doesn't work. After I reset the admin-password with my own password, it still doesn't reset to what I changed to. I watched your video and it is exactly same thing. Am I missing something here?
Thanks for your quick reply. Actually, I already did "write erase" instead of "clear nvram". After reloading with IOS image, it came back with a prompt to reset admin password. Once I reset the password, I was done. I was able to run "copy runnning start" command. I didn't have to use kickstart image.
