5520 - password reset

[davekyle2013]

Hi Guys,

Ive made a silly error in that I have put a encrypted password and username on my ASA and didnt write either down therefore I cannot log back in to the box..thing is all the config on there is fine and working therfore I dont want to rest the box and lose all my config.

Is there anything I can do to reset the password but keep all the config apart from that? 

Thanks

This has been answered as in below and you wouldn't loose your config with the password recovery but you'd have to restart it few times
