I cleared out my previous ASA configuration settings on my ASA 5505 using the write erase command. All seemed to go as planned and I was expecting to see the preconfigured interactive setup prompts after booting from the reload command. I didn't. All I seem to be getting now upon booting up is the following:

My lab manual does not cover what to do if this occurs and I can't seem to get the device to boot to the factory default as expected. Any suggestions as to how to proceed?

Thanks, but this did not work. It was saying that it was an "unrecognized" command.
I did try entering the command boot config from the ROMMON prompt and the device booted. However even after saving and rebooting the device, it still went back to the ROMMON prompt.
