Can't give input via Console, but output is still given

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to setup a new Cisco Catalyst 2690-x and succesfully connected with the console cable and logged out after that. But the thing is I can't put in commands on my switch anymore. When I reboot the switch with my console cable in it, I can see that the booting output is given but 

it stops generating output after "%USB_CONSOLE-6-MEDIA_RJ45: Console media-type is RJ45."  After that I am unable to type anything but it will give me up/down messages if i connect a cable on a port.... Below is a part of the output where it keeps stopping.

Press RETURN to get started!

I have tried to reboot the switch and set it back to factory default via the Mode button but it hasn't worked unfortunately.

The cable is working correctly as it still gives output and works when I try to connect it to my ASA.

The baud settings are correct as well.

I didn't change anything at the first startup of the switch 

Do you guys have any idea how to regain access? 

Thanks in advance
