Hi all,

In ASA 5520, show module shows

Mod Status             Data Plane Status     Compatibility

--- ------------------ --------------------- -------------

  0 Up Sys             Not Applicable       

  1 Up                 Up                   

!

since the customer forgot the password to enter the IPS module, we forced to reset the password. When i entered the cmd

ASA2# hw-module module 1 password-reset

Reset the password on module in slot 1? [confirm]

The SSM application version does not support password reset

Failed to reset the password on the module in slot 1

!

the image is

Mod MAC Address Range                 Hw Version   Fw Version   Sw Version   

--- --------------------------------- ------------ ------------ ---------------

  0 0022.553e.ce75 to 0022.553e.ce79  2.0          1.0(11)4     8.0(5)

  1 0015.c695.d25a to 0015.c695.d25a  1.0          1.0(10)0     5.0(2)S152.0 

!

As per the readme.txt for the upgrade, we need mimimum 5.1 but the current is 5.0.

How can we reset the password with the current image running.

Thx
