I bought a Cisco IPS 4215. It was used and had an exisiting configuration on it already. When I tried to do a password recovery via Grub the process seemed like it finished but never allows me to console via new password. Now the unit files seem to be corrupt and the only thing I can get to is the initial Grub option screen but nothing works.
My question is how do I recover this unit using Grub. Basically starting from scratch assuming no image works. THe appliance at least has a usb port but not sure if I can use to upload a new image.
This is as far as I get:
