Hi,

I explain my actions : 

The switch is power off.

I plug the Monitor USB cable (usb-mini), and run Putty (port COMX)

I power ON the switch.

I see the start of the switch

I push the MODE button.

I arrive on the prompt :    switch:

I try to execute FLASH_INIT 

but failed ...

The rest of the process to reset is not working ...

I have the feeling, that I don't have the exact good moment to push the MODE button.

" As soon as the System LED blinks"

>> It's a 9200L : no SYST Led ... 

I search with Visio Stencil...It's like a "S"  ?

>> It's a cogwheel .  (check the attached files, at the top of the issue)

Regards

Step 1
Connect a terminal or PC to the switch.
Connect a terminal or a PC with terminal-emulation software to the switch console port.
Connect a PC to the Ethernet management port.
Step 2
Set the line speed on the emulation software to 9600 baud.
Step 3
Power off the standalone switch or the entire switch stack.
Step 4
Reconnect the power cord to the switch or the active switch. As soon as the System LED blinks, press and release the Mode button 2-3 times. The switch enters the ROMMON mode.
The following console messages are displayed during the reload:
Proceed to the Procedure with Password Recovery Enabled section, and follow the steps.
Step 5
After recovering the password, reload the switch or the active switch.
On a switch:
Switch> reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm] y

----

Step 1
Ignore the startup configuration with the following command:

Switch: SWITCH_IGNORE_STARTUP_CFG=1

Step 2
Boot the switch with the packages.conf file from flash.

Switch: boot flash:packages.conf

Step 3
Terminate the initial configuration dialog by answering No.

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: No

Step 4
At the switch prompt, enter privileged EXEC mode.

Switch> enable
Switch#

Step 5
Copy the startup configuration to running configuration.

Switch# copy startup-config running-config Destination filename [running-config]?

Press Return in response to the confirmation prompts. The configuration file is now reloaded, and you can change the password.
Step 6
Enter global configuration mode and change the enable password.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)#

Step 7
Write the running configuration to the startup configuration file.

Switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config

Step 8
Confirm that manual boot mode is enabled.

Switch# show boot

BOOT variable = flash:packages.conf;
Manual Boot = yes
Enable Break = yes

Step 9
Reload the device.

Switch# reload

Step 10
Boot the device with the packages.conf file from flash.

Switch: boot flash:packages.conf

Step 11
After the device boots up, disable manual boot on the device.

Switch(config)# no boot manual

This worked for me...

Please note if you set the config register with the "SWITCH_IGNORE_STARTUP_CFG=1" command, you have to go back and change it back before the next reboot or the unit will just ignore the config after every reboot until you do.

For the moment, the proposal is not working as expected;

These step is not working : "press and release the Mode Button 2-3 times"

But nothing happen ...

Step 4
Reconnect the power cord to the switch or the active switch.

As soon as the System LED blinks, press and release the Mode button 2-3 times.

The switch enters the ROMMON mode.
The following console messages are displayed during the reload:
Proceed to the Procedure with Password Recovery Enabled section, and follow the steps.
