Factory reset an Edgecore Switch physically

1. Create a Loopback Connection
   Connect Port 3 and Port 4 together to form a loopback connection and ensure both interfaces are linked up (by checking link status LEDs).
2. Access the Console
   On the console, press Ctrl + }, then enter the password admin123 when prompted.
3. Confirm Reset
   After completing the previous step, a prompt will appear asking for confirmation to reset the configuration to default. Type y to proceed.
4. Trigger the Reset
   Within 10 seconds, disconnect and reconnect the cable between Port 3 and Port 4 twice.
5. Completion
   Once these steps are completed successfully, the switch will automatically restore its default configuration and reboot.
   
   Note:
   • The loopback between Port 3 and Port 4 acts as a physical confirmation to trigger the factory reset.
   • Do not interrupt the process once the reboot begins.
   • After reboot, you can reconnect to the switch using the default credentials "admin/admin"
