ASA 5506 Can't access To ROMMON

[khalidanahi]

Hello Everyone.

Due a technical problem (electricity), the firewall suddenly stopped and no longer wants to start, I had to reset it with ROMMON, after restarting the following message is displayed:

Rom image verified correctly

I changed the SSD disk from another broken firewall, and still the same problem.

I can't access to ROMMON 

Help Please.

I hope someone has backed up the config because the person who disabled password-recovery (without realizing what it can do) deserves a medal.

Unfortunately, the person who did this is gone, I have no config worries, I just want to start the firewall to exploit it

If you do the password-recovery, the config gets erased.

"no service password-recovery" can easily be abused by any disgruntled staff member -- Because it is comically easily to turn on.

Hello Leo 

Thank you for your reply.
Bah Yes it's easy to activate and the result can be seen.
by the way I want to start the firewall to exploit it, the config I don't care
