[c-nsp] 3550 password recovery

[Justin Shore]

Read step 6 more closely.  You omitted the the colon after "flash". 
There's a warning the follows on the next line as well:

"
6. Issue the dir flash: command.

Note: Make sure to type a colon ":" after the dir flash.
"

"dir flash" tries to dir a file named "flash" on the filesystem named 
"flash:" (ie flash:/flash).

Use "dir ?" for assistance in matter like this.  It lists the explicit 
arguments you have available for use.  Also, making use of tab 
completion will avoid typos like these that we all tend to make.

"dir fl<TAB>"
