The only way to reset the ASA to factory defaults is with the "wr era" command or the "clear configure" command.

If these commands are not available due to a password issue (ie can't remember the enable password) you will need to reset the passwords:

ASA

conf t

configure factory-default

Router: I dont know if there is such a command.

might be depending on model of router and software version.

so wr er and then reload is the closest I know off

Switch:

I do not know of such a command, might exist depending on model and software version

so wr er and then do a reload is the closest I know of.

Good luck
