Can't root login from TTY console

Greetings,

We have a brand new SRX345 that was passed on from another department, that had some configs on it, but never used in production, the previous sysadmin left the company and now I'm trying to factory reset it...

 

So I do the standard 15 second config reset to go back to factory defaults, but I can't access the MGMT port using 192.168.1.1, nor can I access 192.168.2.1 (configuring my workstation with the appropriate static IPs and subnets.)  So, I decide to console into it, get my console up and running, can see the boot loader running,  etc, but when I get to the login prompt and type root, nothing happens... I expect it to drop down to the cli but nothing, so I reboot, and try to get it via safe mode, but I can't because it doesn't respond to the space bar and bring up the command prompt before boot... the console isn't taking in any input so it seems.  So I look up the settings in the terminal emulator (using Termite, nothing, so I download a trial of Hyperterm, still no inputs.) So I try my laptop that I use to console into my EX switches when need be, but same thing. 

 

Am I missing something here?  Or does this thing need an RMA?
