Hi @grenzo !

Connect to the switch using console cable, reboot the switch, enter the Extended Bootrom menu, choose option '<5> Restore to Factory Default Configuration", follow all promps and then reboot again. After the next boot the switch should load the default (empty) config.

thank you for the reply.

i have only this options :

BOOT MENU

1. Download application file to device
2. Select application file to boot
3. Display all files in device
4. Delete file from device
5. Modify bootrom password
0. Reboot

Hmm, it looks like a Basic Boot Menu (bootrom) not the Extended one... Don't you see the option "Press Ctrl-B to enter Extended Boot menu" when switch is preparing to boot the Comware image?
