ASA Default username 9.x

[mmacdonald70]

I am currently trying to set up a remote ASA.  I gave it an IP address, set an ssh password (default PIX username) and verified connectivity.  Then I left the site.

Now at the new site, I upgraded to 9.x and can't SSH to it anymore.  That's when I read the guide and found out that the default PIX username is no longer supported.  Do you know if there is any fix to this?

Hi,

If you have access to ASA, could you send the output of following commands:

show run ssh

show run aaa

sh crypto key mypubkey rsa

sh run username

I don't have access to it.  I can no longer SSH to it.  I am assuming that this is because the "pix" usrname no longer exists in the config.  I was just hoping that it would have been converted to something to save me from travelling out there again.  If I have to go there to console in, I'm assumeing that I will just have to enable aaa.

Hi,

If you could not access firewall either from ssh, telnet or ASDM then that would be the only option for you to console into the firewall.

Could you try username-cisco, password - cisco or second username-cisco, password- leave it blank
