Hi Shawn,

If the system has been reset, did you tried the default credentials super/sp-admin ?

Cheers

Otherwise, you have to do a password recovery procedure:

- connect to the console switch

- boot up

- stop the boot process at the begin by press 'b' key

- enter 'no password' and 'boot'

- the switch will start normally and you will have access to the CLI

- change the password

- and don't forget to do a 'write mem' 😉

Hope this will help

@vincent_felisaz Thanks Vince, I tried "no password", unfortunately it still asked me to provide a username and password.

It's done! I used Vince's method:
--type "no password"
-- "boot"
-- "ena"
-- "conf t"
-- "username admin password 123456789"
-- "aaa authentication web default local"
This adds the username and password.
