I have an HP 1920-8G (JG920A) that will only boot to the Bootware menu. The config file will not load; both it and the backup are corrupted, it seems. The only way I can connect is using a serial connection to the cosole port. I'd like to restore to factory default, but it says "Password recovery capability is enabled. To perform this operation, first
disable the password recovery capability using the undo password-recovery enable command in CLI."
Unfortunately, I can't do that. Is there another way?
I have updated firmware to apply but any time I try to do that via the Serial SubMenu, the XModem transfer errors out.
At this point I'm simply replacing the switch, but I need to know if the 1920 is effectively bricked or if there is a way to bring it back to life. Thanks!
