ASA 5505 doesn't reset to factory default

[adrianobrusc]

Why when I try to reset Cisco ASA 5505 by pressing  the button behind the hardware nothing happen? Just via software I can reset it?

I bought the hardware an year ago and I've never used, the problem that I don't have the blue cable and via software connecting to PC doesn't work.

Thanks.

I am afraid there doesn't seem to be any other way, if you do not have the console cable or teh ASDM software.

I Installed the ASDM software but it doesn't communicate with Cisco ASA 5505, I tryed to setup the PC network adapter:

IP: 192.168.1.10

Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.1

I connected a RJ45 cable to ASA 5505 Port 1 to PC, but when I try to ping 192.168.1.1 it doesn't respond.

Is the procedure above correct?

Tks

Do you have your computer on DHCP?

You should be able to purchase a console cable at a local store..

Hi Adriano,

Do yo have any config saved from te firewall, which can verify whether you the configuration done on ASA for ASDM access??

And yes, you need to buy a console cable quickly.

Michael I tryed to enable DHCP before setup the IP address, but it didn't receive any IP address from ASA 5505 because it's not findind the 5505.

Varun, this is my first time that I try to use and setup the ASA 5505, I bought the hardware an year ago but I've never used so now I need to setup it but I'm having problems how to access.

I'm trying to looking for a Brazilian store to buy a cable.

I appreciate everyone's help!
