  1. Log onto the system using the console.
  2. Power-cycle the chassis by switching off all of the power modules and then switching them back on.
  3. Hit any key to abort the boot process. You enter uBoot immediately, as indicated by the => prompt. (during bootup) hit any key
  4. Set the system parameters to ignore the startup configuration file when the system reloads. uBoot mode setenv stconfigignore true
  5. To save the changes, use the saveenv command. uBoot mode saveenv
  6. Reload the system. uBoot mode reset
  7. Copy startup-config.bak to the running config. EXEC Privilege mode copy flash://startup-config.bak running-config
  8. Remove all authentication statements you might have for the console. LINE mode no authentication login no password
  9. Save the running-config. EXEC Privilege mode copy running-config startup-config
