Hi

I have a problem, i had made a software upgarde on the switch 2960G series have no any passwords, when I fished the upgrade process after rebooting the device i found it need a User\Pw to access device manager. i tried to use the default PW "cisco" but it dosen't work too.. after that i tried the password recovery process to rest the PW, but noway, but now i have addition problem, when i try the cmd orders "flash_init , load_helper , dir flash" to beginning  the password recovery process it shows the following:

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
    boot


switch: flash_init
Initializing Flash...
flashfs[0]: 554 files, 19 directories
flashfs[0]: 0 orphaned files, 0 orphaned directories
flashfs[0]: Total bytes: 32514048

...done Initializing Flash.

switch: load_helper
Unknown cmd: load_helper

switch: load_helper
Unknown cmd: load_helper

switch: load_helper
Unknown cmd: load_helper

switch: dir flash
unable to stat flash/: no such device

switch: load_helper
Unknown cmd: load_helper

switch: dir flash
unable to stat flash/: no such device

..............................................................................

After that the problem updated 

because I tried to install the IOS by Xmodem to reload the missing flash file.

After finsh the TAR file loading and reboot the switch.......the LEDs of mode and Giga ports are lighted amber and not blinking,  i tried many times to follow the steps to connect the switch by the emulator and consol cable by holding mode button and connecting the power cable at same time the device does not work, the switch now still not blinking, now i try to read and understand how can i remove the corrupted files and install a new IOS for this switch

What shall i do.

Sorry for language mistakes

switch: dir flash

unable to stat flash/: no such device

That command is incorrect.  It should be "dir flash:".
