Hello all,

Here is new one to networking, and need help to do the following:

* I have cisco 2801 router and PIX 515E , both with passwords and the one who was configuring them no longer available so I need easy step by step to:

1- Restore them to factory default settings.

2- Install Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) for each of them as I can configure and manage them using web-based.

Please provide me with steps and softwares I need to download and URLs where can I got them.

Hi

for the second question

to access SDM on router do the following:

ip http server

ip http secure-server

ip http authentication local

username privilege 15 password 0

line vty 0 4

privilege level 15

login local

transport input telnet

transport input telnet ssh

for PIX, I think you meant ASDM :

http server enable

http x.x.x.x 255.255.255.255 Outer (OUTER:it is interface name that x.x.x.x can access the pix from it)

then you access it

https://x.x.x.x

bye
