What I’ve found that sort of gives the “best of both worlds” is to follow my steps above. Also the ASDM is not accessible without some configuration through the console cable at the command line. After running the write erase, all of your Ethernet interfaces are shutdown. All in all I feel it gives a “cleaner” reset than the “configure factory-default” gives. It doesn’t set any of the DHCP stuff that the “configure factory-default” sets up. I feel this does a much better job of clearing out the configuration.

If you go into priviledge exec mode, it should prompt for a password and the password will be blank. You should now be at the user exec: ciscoasa>ħ. After the 5505 ASA has restarted you should be prompted to “Pre-configure Firewall now through interactive prompts?” I press “n” then enter to not run the interactive setup.Ħ.

At the “Erase configuration in flash memory?” prompt press Enter to confirmĤ. In global config mode: 5505(config)# write eraseĢ. The steps I follow to reset the 5505 ASA using the console cable(clearing out the configuration along with any passwords)ġ.

Download and install it, then make a new connection. In Windows XP, use hyperterminal, click Start, Programs, Accessories, Communications, Hyperterminal, create a connection on Com1 using the terminal settings:.The console port looks like a network jack, but it’s above the usb ports. hook up the blue console cable to your serial port, plugging the other end into ‘Console’ port on the ASA 5505.Instead, you’ll need to use the Console Port! I think will help you fix the problem as much as this button will: This button appears to be entirely for looks. There is a button on the back of the device that says ‘Reset’. If you forgot the enable password, Lawrence’s comment on this page might help. If you can get into the ASDM, it is easier to Reset to Factory Defaults using the Cisco’s ASDM. If you’ve mucked up the IP, vlan, etc settings and the Cisco ASDM can’t get into the device, it’s time for more desperate measures.
