Tried the steps here (https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/RUCKUS-Self-Help/How-to-recover-from-a-lost-password-ICX-swi...) with no avail. Any other ideas on how to reset credentials without having to factory reset the switch?
Following the instructions from the link just goes back to the main prompt asking for username and password.
Thank you

Please disregard. If it is a newer version, press CTRL+Y at the prompt. That was missing from the instructions. Once on the OS> prompt, do reset_login and then exit from it. You should be able to get in with the default credentials super and sp-admin.

Based on the information provided, it appears that you are trying to recover the RUCKUS Switch credentials.

Yes, that is the right process you mentioned in the 2nd post.
However, sharing the process for your future reference:
Video link as a reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJS28DWbHM4
1. Start a CLI session over the serial (console access) interface to the RUCKUS ICX device.
2-Enter OS mode. This uses a key combination and drops below the Fastron operating system
Key Combination: Ctrl+y, release, tap 'm', tap 'Enter'
OS>
4-just write reset
OS>reset
5-.While the system is booting, before the initial system prompt appears,
enter b to enter the boot monitor mode.
Enter 'b' to stop at boot monitor: 0
In this part, you have to press B before the counter ends
6-Enter no password. (You cannot abbreviate this command.)
ICX7650-Boot> no password
00 00 00 00
OK! Skip password check when the system is up.
7-Enter boot. This command causes the device to bypass the system password
check.
ICX7650-Boot> boot
8-After the console prompt reappears, assign a new password.
Reset your new credentials as mentioned in the steps below:
Edit the current or create a new password and username by using the below commands:
enable
configure terminal
device(config)# username super password pass
Where the username is ’super’ and password ‘pass’
To ensure proper authentication, execute the following commands:
device(config)# crypto key generate rsa
device(config)# aaa authentication login default local
device(config)# aaa authentication web-server default local
Please let me know if you have any queries in this regard.
Thank you again for your patience.
Best regards,
Imran Sanadi
