Hello!
I have a Switch I bought off a guy at work. Just to get into the Switching world of Cisco. He doesnt know the password on it and i cant reset the switch. I would like to mess around with it more but it doesnt load the flash or helper. It just sits there and holds. I have tried the password recovery and everything. Trust me, everything is correct, but it wont work for me. I cant load a new image to it because I dont have access to a server to get it from.
Base ethernet MAC Address: 00:0a:8a:94:58:c0
Xmodem file system is available.
The system has been interrupted prior to initializing the
flash filesystem. The following commands will initialize
the flash filesystem, and finish loading the operating
system software:
flash_init
load_helper
boot
switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...

...done Initializing Flash.
Boot Sector Filesystem (bs:) installed, fsid: 3

You probally have to use xmodem procesure to download new ios image to the switch
Id you already have done so and switch still does not boot then switch might be defective
