Is that possible to clear or reset factory ? I don't have data on device.

How can solve it ?

Should be able to factory reset by reinstalling the OS.

DD OS

Would you please say what are the steps to do it ?

Copy image to USB then boot to it.

1. Connect a console to the system, if not present, using one of these methods: ● Remote serial link: Use for a serial console or laptop with terminal emulation software such as Secure CRT, PuTTY, or HyperTerminal (required for running DD OS commands). A null modem cable with a DB-9 female connector is required. Laptops without a serial DB-9 connector should use a USB/Serial adapter (not included) with the null modem cable. Connect the console or laptop or the standard DB-9 male or micro DB-9 female port on the system. ● Direct connection: Use for a PS/2 or USB keyboard with a VGA monitor, or KVM console. Connect the P/S2 keyboard and mouse to the system's DIN-type ports, the USB keyboard to the system's USB-A port, and the VGA monitor to the system's DB-15 female port. 2. Insert the USB key with the DD OS image into a USB port on the system. (For USB port locations, refer to your system’s Hardware Overview manual.) 3. If the system is powered down, power it up as follows: ● If the system has a power button on the front, press it. ● If the system does not have a power button on the front, remove (if inserted) the AC power cords from the power supplies, wait until the power supply LEDs have turned off, then reconnect the power cords. Skip to step 5. 4. If the system is powered up with a system prompt on the console, then log in as sysadmin (or an administrator-level user) and enter: # system reboot NOTE: The factory default password is the serial number on your system. For its location, refer to your system's Installation Guide. If the default password has been changed, you need to use the new password. Answer yes to the Are you sure? prompt.
2. . Before software installation starts, the following prompt appears: Confirm: Do you want to delete all existing data? [deleteallexistingdata/quit] WARNING: Entering deleteallexistingdata destroys the information on all system controller disks and expansion disks, including DD OS software, configuration settings, and data. Continue with the DD OS installation by manually entering: deleteallexistingdata

Do you think we can solve it according follow error without reimage or reset factory ?

If the destroy filesystem command fails probably not.
