Unable to login on BeagleBone Black Rev C

Hello there

I bought a new BeagleBone Black Rev C from Amazon last week and I am unable to login using the default username and password. Following is the output from Minicom to help you understand my issue:

I have not connected any Ethernet cable and I also tried connecting an Ethernet cable but unfortunately the same problem persists.

Can someone help me debug this issue. Thank you !

  You may have bought it through Amazon, but I doubt they were the actual
seller. If you include the one with a case, there are presently three
different dealers providing them (none of which are the dealer mine came
through last year). There are also a few companies manufacturing them...

  How are you actually connecting to the device?

  I've never seen boot output on mine* -- but that could be because I've
only Putty via either the USB connection, or over the Ethernet (preferred
as Ethernet means it can do NTP update for time/date), and by the time
those protocols are active, the system has booted. I thought the boot
output only came through if you connect an FTDI serial debug cable to the
debug pins.

  Given the 2015 dates... You might want to download and write to a 4GB
(minimum) microSD card one of the current images

https://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-8.6-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-11-06-4gb.img.xz

insert it, and boot from the card (only convert it to a flasher when you
know you've gotten it to work).

  You should just need a USB cable -- sufficient for power and providing
a SSH on (Blast -- had a disk crash, and it looks like my rebuild did not
carry the Putty configurations across so I don't have easy access to the IP
number for the USB).

  forgot to add the footnote:

* Maybe on the one or two times I used a USB keyboard/mouse and had it on
HDMI to a TV... Then it may have shown the boot output.
