The Cisco ASA has been reset to factory settings.If you had an enable password set, you may need to enter that in the password box when you try to connect using the ASDM.ĭHCP is enabled on the cisco device, and it’s internal IP address is now 192.168.1.1!.Otherwise the default username and password is to leave both blank.

David Musashi Januat 12:31 Curreri – You have to be VERY careful when using those instructions to reset an ASA.Those register settings didn’t work in my 5505 ASA and just caused it to boot into rommon. I then had to use confreg within rommon to set the register to boot correctly. The steps I follow to reset the 5505 ASA using the console cable(clearing out the configuration along with any passwords)ġ. In global config mode: 5505(config)# write eraseĢ. At the “Erase configuration in flash memory?” prompt press Enter to confirmĤ. At the “Proceed with reload?” prompt press Enter to confirm (note that we did NOT do a “write memory” after the write erase but before the reload, nor do we want to save the configuration)ĥ. After the 5505 ASA has restarted you should be prompted to “Pre-configure Firewall now through interactive prompts?” I press “n” then enter to not run the interactive setup.Ħ. You should now be at the user exec: ciscoasa>ħ. If you go into priviledge exec mode, it should prompt for a password and the password will be blank. I feel this does a much better job of clearing out the configuration.

It doesn’t set any of the DHCP stuff that the “configure factory-default” sets up. All in all I feel it gives a “cleaner” reset than the “configure factory-default” gives. After running the write erase, all of your Ethernet interfaces are shutdown. Also the ASDM is not accessible without some configuration through the console cable at the command line. What I’ve found that sort of gives the “best of both worlds” is to follow my steps above.
