Hello,

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/110/34.shtml

details how to reset your Pix. You will need to locate Tftp though, since it is no longer available for download from Cisco.

not sure if you already got an answer or if this is too late, but you will need to flash the pix with a special firmware to reset the password. I think you can download it from Cisco? If not I have it laying around somewhere..

Hi guys, we have this cisco pix 501 installed in our offices with enabled passwords. The problem is that the one who install these is no longer connected to us.. Now one of our offices is transferring to another ISP because of technical problem. Since the pix 501 is configured to the previous providers IP address, its now not granting internet and intranet access. Guys, is there a password recovery procedure for PIX 501? I need your help. Thanks

I dont have any of the software or a user liscence wondering if it is any good for me or whether i should just throw it away??? I have a home network and a high speed cable internet connection, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Dave.

You don't need any software, just a rollover cable, DB9 converter, and a termal program (like Hyperterminal) to configure it.

Or you can access it via HTTP and configure it that way.

Do you have the password? If not, you'll need to reset it, which may be a little confusing for first-timers.

Hi guys,
I just picked up a cisco pix 501 for $5 at a garage sale thinking it was a ethernet switch. I dont have any of the software or a user liscence wondering if it is any good for me or whether i should just throw it away??? I have a home network and a high speed cable internet connection, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Dave.

"adsm img is included in your pix"

What do you mean ? And how do i make sure it's included ?

RE: Cisco PIX 501 Firewall

hopeitdept — Fri, 04 May 2007 01:21:00 GMT

Make sure that the adsm img is included in your pix.
enable http
your pix firewall is at https://ip/admin

Hello,

My problem is that i can't access the firewall via browser.It works okay and sees internet via the adsl router of mine, but i only can configure it via console.

I use the same IPs i used in the config to access it via browser.

Any ideas ?

I agree with tracee. I was able to setup my pix by the help with the cisco tech. Even though it did take me a while to find one(tech) that I could comprehend what he was telling me. Once you find a good one try to "buddy" up with he/she. :wink;

Ridzuans,

your problem is common with PIX501. This is not a config. issue, just a timing issue inside the PIX, and sometimes Cisco routers that causes this.

They work great when configured correctly. If you're not sure how to do this, you should contact a cisco certified technician.
