Solved: erase config on ASA 5505

Andy White · ‎02-09-2010

Hi,

How do I get an ASA back to factory default or ease the config and start again, I've messed up the enable password and telnet passwords. I can get in via serial and ASDM though, but it needs the old passwords for telnet and enable to be able to change them and I don't know these.

Thanks

Hi Andy,

did the password recovery work?

you don't need to erase the config, you just need to perform a password recovery
