Factory reset for Nexus 3164Q

[riley.mather11]

Hello All,

Trying to figure out how to factory reset a Nexus 3164Q-10GE, and I have had no luck at all. The below link was not help either.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/password_recovery/b_nx_os_pwr/nx_os_pw.html

I can get it to the loader, but there is no kickstart image. I really want to believe I am missing something simple. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

ctrl + c   as nexus 3164 boots just spam press ctrl+c

Loader > cmdline recoverymode=1

Loader > boot n9000-dk9.6.1.2.I3.4b.bin

conf t
