Hi,

 

You can try clearing lockdown by following the instructions mentioned in the past post here: https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/powervault/powervault-md3800f-in-lockdown/647f8da9f4ccf8a8dee48a99

 

If it doesn't work, you will need to open a technical case to engineering L3. There are a few sets of command to try revive the controller. If it doesn't work, you will need to replace the controller.
