Firmware Upgrade: M4300-16X Cannot see web GUI anymore?

Hi all,

 

I have a M4300-16X 600W PSU (XSM4316PB) Netgear switch i use for a SDVOE video system. I wanted to upgrade the switch to the latest firmware. I used this article and followed the steps very closely (https://kb.netgear.com/000044728/M4300-Firmware-Version-12-0-2-15).

I was upgrading from 12.0.8.3 to 12.0.15.7. I followed the instructions (via Web GUI) and upon the last reboot, the GUI prompted me to update password. So I used the same password as the default settings to keep things simple. Now, when I log in, all I see is the the attached screenshot...

Did I brick the unit? Can I fix it? What are my options....

 

Thanks!

    Factory reset worst case.

     

    And please change the default password when asked (of course the UI should not accept to keep the same one LaurentMa ).
