ASA 5506-X

[ddaise]

How do I reset my ASA 5506-X back to factory defaults. I have been trying to use the reset button but I been unsuccessful in my attempts. Am I missing something?

The easiest is with the following command from config-mode:

asa (config)# configure factory-default

[ddaise]

I change the default ip address....afterwards couldn't get in through ASDM. I tried accessing through a console using putty and TeraTerm but no luck. I have been trying to reset it using the reset button and that doesn't work either.

If the button has been disable via the "no service sw-reset-button", it won't work.

You can alternatively go into config mode and type:

configure factory-default [ip_address [mask]]

I found an article that told me how to access to ASA via the usb cable. After connecting I was able to restore the asa back to factory defaults. Thanks for all of help guys.
