Hey, I am trying to do a factory reset on a pair of 6120XP fabric interconnects. This is due to the fact that someone accidentally tried to upgrade the UCSM to a new version of code, where the 61XX series FI´s are no longer supported. According to documentation, the first part of the process is to do a password recovery on the FI´s, as we are not able to log into them with the previous username / password.
I followed the procedure as listed here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/cli/config/guide/2-0/b_UCSM_CLI_Configuration_Guide_2_0/b_UCSM_CLI_Configuration_Guide_2_0_chapter_0100110.html
When I go to boot the kickstart image using loader> boot /installables/switch/ucs-6100-k9-kickstart.5.0.3.N2.2.1s.bin I get a starnge error even though the images are indeed in the dir directory. I have not been able to find anything on the web about this.

Hi, after resetting the password, it will not let me log into the box with the new password:
