Recovery password of AIP-SSM on ASA5510

[nvanphuong]

Hi all,

I've configured AIP-SSM on ASA5510, the first time log in to sensor, it prompts to change the default password. But the second time, I can't log in with the password which I've changed.

How can I recovery password? Does anyone meet the same problem?

Thanks,

Phuong

Are you sure you actually changed the password? Try the default again.. cisco/cisco. Then it will ask you for the UNIX password (cisco). Then it will ask you for your new password (then it asks to confirm the new password). Let me know...

Please rate if this helps.

I'm sure that password have been changed. I also tried the default password but can't log in. I can't find the link on cisco.com to crack password, can U help me?

Many thanks,

Phuong

From the ASA CLI you will need to re-image/recover the System Image of the SSM:

Putting on the new System Image will reformat the compact flash which winds up erasing your current configuration and also the current passwords.
