great thanks, I'll let you know how it goes on monday, I'd figured I could just reboot it to know. Just dont like suprise's when I show up to take a network down.

Thanks again,

Alan Harrington

have you console to the pix at all? perhaps you may not need to reboot.

if you console you should get a prompt as:

pix> then issue the show version.

As always , a reboot a last last resource.. and a backout/fallback plan must always exist.

no I have not, the location is around 2 hours away, and the telnet is not active and no one there is okay with plugging the console into the server so I can just take a peak. Even if it?s there, I will still have to reboot to tftp the password over write, correct? Unless it?s still in enable mode, but that?s just not my kind of luck. Of course there is still the great security hope of a sticky note underneath it. (hey its underneath it, they'll never look!)

thanks for your help.

this was the backup plan, reset the PW. Don't really have alot of choice in the matter. Should be fun however.

my tftp server crashed, but files and everythind went perfect after a new tftp program. Thanks for your help!
