I was in the process of recovering a password on a nexus 5548 swith when it finally gets in to the boot mode.

I think i lost all my bootloader code.

How do i get it back on the switch

loader> load n5000-uk9.5.0.3.N2.1.bin

Error 27: Unrecognized command

Please does anyone know  how to restore my IOS on this device

Did you try to do an upgrade of some sort? Did you then reload?
Assuming that the switch then didn't boot up correctly...
i think you need to boot from the kick start image. Could you show us the output of the dir command please?

loader> boot n5000-uk9-kickstart.5.0.2.N2.1.bin

Once you load the kick start image that should launch mini nx-os

Then you should boot from your normal image e.g.

switch(boot)# load bootflash:n5000-uk9.5.0.2.N2.1.bin
