FWSM password recovery steps

[Hamza Al-Qudah]

Dears ,

I wannt to recover the enable pasword of the FWSM

is this the correct procedure :

Router# hw-module module slot-number reset cf:1

Router# session slot slot-number processor 1

Log into Root.

root@localhost# clear passwd cf:partition_number

root@localhost# exit

and if this true , it will reboot FWSM from maintenance partition which is cf:1 , is this will affect the traffic ? I think it will

Here is the procedure for password recovery

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/fwsm/fwsm32/configuration/guide/troubl_f.html#wp1049302.

'hw-module  module slot-number reset cf:1' does not remove any config, It just  reboot FWSM from maintenance partition which is cf:1.

I  believe that you can do it on standby module without interrupting the  traffic. But I never try it before. So for safety, I suggest to do it  during the change window
