ADSM Password Reset needed.

[barry.green]

Hi Guys and Girls.

A few weeks ago on a long Sunday afternoon I was decommissioning some network equipment from our Current Setup. whilst I was in the Process of "Tidying" the network I decided to install ADSM instead of using the console.

"I cant Remember the Password I set up" DOH!!!! I know....

Can you help me with a Reset process?

ASDM doesn't use any special passwords. These are regular ASA-accounts. Just follow the standard password-recovery process.

I would agree with Karsten that ASDM does not have any unique special passwords. I would point out that the recovery mechanism depends on how you have set up ASDM to authenticate. Probably the most common implementation is for ASDM to use local accounts on the ASA, but I have customers who authenticate ASDM using TACACS, others who authenticate using AD credentials, others who authenticate using RSA tokens or other two factor authentication. So you need to consider your authentication mechanism as you look for a recovery process.
