Hi,

I need to recover CISCO ASA Firewall password without any changing of existing configuration.

Please find the below below steps that I am going to follow:

rommon #0> confreg

Current Configuration Register: 0x00000001

Do you wish to change this configureation? y/n [n]: y
enable boot to ROMMON prompt? y/n [n]: n
enable TFTP netboot? y/n [n]: n
ebable Flash boot? y/n [n]:n
select specific Flash image index? y/n [n]: n
disable system configuration? y/n [n]: y
go to ROMON prompt if netboot fails? y/n [n]: n
enable passing NVRAM file spece in auto-boot mode? y/n [n]: n
disable display of BREAK or ESC key prompt during auto-boot? y/n [n]: n

rommon #1> boot

ciscoasa> enable
Password:
ciscoasa# copy start run

ASA# config terminal
ASA(config)# password <NEW PASSWORD>
ASA(config)# enable password <NEW PASSWORD>
ASA(config)# username admin password <NEW PASSWORD>
ASA(config)# config-register 0x00000001
ASA(config)# copy run start

Please advise the steps are ok or not.
