CISCO - Reset Switch no Conf-T?

[BKGarry]

Hello All wise and wonderful Cisco experts.

 

I have inherited a Cisco switch from another school, exactly the same model as ours.

 

I did a Factory Reset on it and went through the basic setup but now I cannot get into the Config Terminal.

 

I am sitting here with Config from another switch with the name and IP address changed wanting to copy it all in I type in Conf-T and it acts like the command doesn't exist.

 

Am I being special here, I was hoping to just copy and paste and then do the edits for ports after.

 

All iOS and the model is a 2960G (if that helps) and connected through the Serial Cable to the console
