Cisco Switch Nexus 3172TQ-X Login Credentials and Booting Issue

[jart1982515]

Greetings Team,

Regrettably, I overlooked steps 8 and 9 during the configuration process. After performing a 'write erase' and 'reload' in switch(boot) mode, the switch attempts to load the previous boot file but fails to fully boot up. It then prompts for login credentials which I currently don’t possess. Could anyone guide me on revisiting steps 8 and 9 to correctly configure the switch? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Step 8 Display the bootflash: contents to locate the Cisco NX-OS software image file.

switch(boot)# dir bootflash:

Step 10 Load the Cisco NX-OS system software image.

In the following example, the system image filename is nx-os.bin:

switch(boot) # load bootflash:nx-os.bin https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/password_recovery/b_nx_os_pwr/nx_os_pw.html

This is the error when I try to go back to switch(boot) option by CTR+C.
