try

dir flash:

if that doesn't work please get help output

rommon 1 > ?

From ROMMON confreg 0x2402 then reboot the device. After boot, copy start run, set password, confreg 0x2102, reboot the device. 

Forgot one detail, after setting password and resetting configuration register,  copy run start.
