@kaloe28 That sounds like something's pretty wrong. Is this a new install? (since you haven't changed the default password). I would just reinstall and start completely fresh.
Is this a Netgate device? Each of the product manuals has a page on how to reinstall.

@steveits its my netgate xg7100, i tried the factory reset but it doesn't solve the issue, i tried several fix found here but i have no luck, either Invalid ABI, or unable to update repositories

@kaloe28 “The Netgate 7100 DT firewall appliance does not have a hardware button to reset the configuration to factory defaults. ”
It’s just resetting the hardware , which isn’t a great idea on anything with a file system if you can avoid it.
See https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/xg-7100/reinstall-pfsense.html

@kaloe28 Submit a ticket at https://go.netgate.com/ to get 22.05-RELEASE and restore your config from a backup.

@kaloe28 Roger. If you want to use ZFS, however, you will need to reimage the system.
