You can reset enable password by recovery procedure with simplicity then reset it to default factory.

First of all recover the password through its procedure (http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/110/34.shtml) then login to the PIX and execute "write erase" at privileged mode.

After that when you reload it, the cisco pix return to default factory.

If you're going to upgrade to version 7.x, you should to upgrade memmory depend on your license.

if you have PIX-515E with UnRestricted/Failover license you should have 128MB RAM and if you have Restricted license, you should have 64MB RAM.

do I need some special login priviledges or something in order to download latest PDM?

Re: reseting PIX to facotry defaults without knowing enable pass

yes, you need a Cisco Connection Online (CCO) username and password to download PDM software.
