Hello Guys,
I´ve a problem with my "old" PIX515e device. I wanted to flash this device to a new firmware level but forgot to disable the "lost enable" password before. So I started to make the firmware upgrade on my device, ended up with "flashfs" is busy and I should start the enabled modus and "copy flash tftp" to activate the new flash version. Unfortunalty I cannot do this because I´ve lost my password.
When I´m trying to boot this device up now, it will end with a error message...
Unable to locate boot image configuration
Booting first image in flash
No bootable image in flash. Please download an image from a network server in the monitor mode
Failed to find an image to boot
As mentioned, when I will load a new flash image over monitor mode, i cannot activate that image because of flashfs is busy.
The password reset bin files will not work too. I tried that too but this one will recongnize no active installed flash.
Is there any way to reanimate my PIX515e? In newer devices there are possibilites to work with changing config register but I´ve found nothing about that for a PIX515e.
I have no active service contract for that device with cisco for sure
Please advise some help.
Regards
Martin Thies
