I lost the password of SX6036 switch. Trying to factory reset by pushing the reset button but no luck. The switch just rebooted without resetting password. Can it help by flashing MLNX-OS? It's ok to lost all configurations. Since it's a managed switch, I am not sure MFT can flash OS for it. Any suggest is appreciate. Thanks.

connect console cable ,then push and hold reset btn minutes not seconds,watch console output ,it will show password cleaned if you hold reset btn long enough
