I have upgraded the os and the pdm, but I cant find what the userID and
password is - how can I clear them so I can run PDM?
regards,
John

John,

Assuming that you knew what the Priv EXEC password was before, try logging
in again, with AND without "pix" as the username. I believe Cisco changed
this in either 6.2 or 6.3 where you don't need to user the "pix" username.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

Richard

I tried yesterday with no name or password, are you suggesting no name, but
use the priv exec password?
I did the upgrade from 6.1 to 6.3 after I broke the password with np61.bin.

John,

Try no username and the Privilege EXEC password; also try a username of
"pix" and the Privilge EXEC password.

Cheers!

Here is the password recovery method for the PIX 501 according to cisco:
1) Start you terminal emulation software and connect your PC to the
console port.
2) Power on your PIX and when you se the startup messages, send a
break character or press the ESC key to get to the monitor mode.
3) monitor> interface (to specify which interface to use)
4) monitor> address (to specify the ip address of the interface)
5) monitor> server (the address of your tftp server)
6) monitor> gateway (the address of the gateway to reach the tftp server)
7) monitor> file (to specify the filename of the PIX password recovery
file, such as np63.bin)
8) monitor> tftp ( to download the file)
As the file loads, the following message is displayed:
Do you wish to erase the passwords? [[yn] Y
Passwords have been erased.
