where did the config come from? the enable password should be either blank, or "cisco". once you are in enable mode, you can use the activation-key command to upgrade, provided you have such a key for that pix

i have some bad news for you.
1: you will never be able to see a prompt
2: you will never be able to use that firewall as a stand-alone device
3: you can *only* use that firewall as a 'Secondary' firewall as clearly stated by the message
