ASA5510 Enable password not working

[sykesaeh]

Hi all,

I have a problem with an ASA5510 (8.0.4) firewall in South Africa (I'm in the UK).

It's a replacement firewall that I am trying to configure remotely through a serial device with an internet facing connection, but the enable password is not working.

I can connect to the device OK, type 'en' and when propted for the password whatever I use (blank, cisco, Cisco etc.) I get an 'invalid password' message.

Does anyone know how I can recover this remotely, if that is possbile?

Thanks

Alex

Hello Alex,

After getting to the enable prompt type login so you can authenticate with the aaa authentication login setup.

Then you can change the enable password as soon as you are in.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, I have not configured aaa authentication - this is a replacement box with no config on it yet.

Is there anything else I can try?

Many thanks

Alex
