Asa 5506-x firewall access cli without console cable

[mokolpokol3]

Hi all, my boss gave me a Cisco asa 5506-x firewall to configure. He told me to hard reset it with the button on the back and go from there.

I've reset it and I have been attempting to get access to the cli through putty. I asked my boss about a spare console cable to use but he says that we don't have any so I'm stuck with using an rj45 and a laptop that has no internet access.

Any advice? I would appreciate it a lot

Buy a console cable - they're available for under USD10 on the usual places people buy such things.

Does it not have a USB-mini as well? In which case any USB mini cable will do.
