Question : CISCO Password Recovery - %AAAA-3-INVSTATE:unknown

Hello all,

I am trying to complete the password recovery process on a CISCO catalyst 3500XL which had AAA enabled and I'm getting stuck....

switch: flash_init
switch: load_helper
switch: rename flash:config.text flash:config.old
switch:boot
initial setup: [n]
switch#config t

At this point (due to the previously configured AAA - TACACS+) I get the following:

Command authorization failed.
%AAAA-3-INVSTATE: unknown AUTHOR/CMD: Internal state is invalid.

Any ideas?

Seems to be a bug;

Time to open up a ticket with Cisco.

Cheers,
