   That box is too old  and out of support .  A sup1A cannot be converted to IOS I don't believe .  Someone correct me if I'm wrong  but don't think Sup1's were ever upgradable , thought it had to be Sup2 or above.   Why do you need a local username and password versus  the normal telnet and enable passwords on catos which it would fall back to if tacacs is not working ?

Sup1A should have MSFC1 which can run IOS, follow the steps and make sure you format bootflash at the end:

Its old, but it should still work
