You, can't. That's normal
output for a standalone switch. You can't disable the VC subsystem. That said, I would not trust this switch without a clean OS reinstall.

Just do a boot loader USB install with format. This will reset everything.

So if I get an EX-4200 and set it to a master, how to do I connect this EX-4550 to it so I can login and change the 4550 state from the 4200?

tried zeroize once in the recovery shell, but there was no virtual-chassis config:
I found the issue. /etc/pam.conf was not writeable, so there was no way to save the password.
Now it still boots with a virtual-chassis like:
root@ex4550switch1> show virtual-chassis Virtual Chassis ID: 3.....Virtual Chassis Mode: Enabled Mstr Mixed Neighbor ListMember ID Status Serial No Model prio Role Mode ID Interface0 (FPC 0) Prsnt .... ex4550-32f 128 Master* NMember ID for next new member: 1 (FPC 1)
So I just have to figure out how to get rid of that. I've tried in config, but just get:
root@ex4550switch1# show virtual-chassis {master:0}[edit]
Now I'm going to try something in
root@ex4550switch1> request virtual-chassis mode ?Possible completions: mixed Set a member's virtual chassis mode
or maybe this menu?
root@ex4550switch1> request virtual-chassis mode mixed disable ?Possible completions: <[Enter]> Execute this command all-members Set virtual chassis mode on all virtual chassis members local Set virtual chassis mode on local virtual chassis member member Set virtual chassis mode on specific virtual chassis member | Pipe through a command
How do I get rid of
{master:0}
on login, which now does:

Once it rebooted it still tried to log me into master, and then reverted to local login, but wouldn't let me enter password.

Have you tried erasing with zeroize?
request system zeroize
Or make sure all configuration for virtual chassis is deleted from the configuration.
delete virtual-chassis

Is there any other way to accomplish this via CLI?
I have another EX4550, but it's in production and I'm afraid it might magically revert to some unusable state like this one did when I put it on the network.

Virtual chassis is only for the EX switch models. And the participation in a virtual chassis group is limited to specific models per group.
For this group you would need ex4550, ex4500 or ex4200 as members.

I have an EX4550 which I can't get out of being{linecard:0}
in a virtual chassis that no longer exists, (thread here)
I have an SRX-300 sitting around as a spare, is it possible to create a 'fake master' with the SRX device that will see my EX4550 and be able to manage it and change it back to a standalone unit (or is there another way)?
