How can I restore the C9200 to factory defaults?

Switch#

Also, the configuration register cannot be changed back from 0x102 to 0x2102, which is a problem.
I would appreciate it if you could also tell me.

Configuration register is 0x102

The command "factory-reset all" is self explanatory. The command will, in essence, format the flash and the switch will boot into ROMMON.

The only way to get the firmware back in is to use the command "emergency-install usbflash0:firmware.bin".
