Okay. I will do that and update the same. For reload, can i use 'reload' command from CLI or Is there any reset switch on the hardware switch to reboot the switch to factory default?
Thank you,

Yes.

Thank you very much!Is there any pre-cuastion need to check before the reload to avoid boot failure or ROMmode.
Like, Boot image verification, path?

It's always wise to check you have a valid image in the flash before rebooting. I suggest rebooting before the 'write erase' procedure and make sure it works.

dir /all
or
show flash:

Aside from Edison's comment, during the bootup sequence make sure you keep a close eye for any error messages.
When the bootup sequence has completed, you have the option to do the following:
Enter into enable mode and type "sh post". If the system is OK, it should respond with "Pass".
