Hello: I recently received an ASA 5505, which I can use as a switch, and I started to learn the switch configuration. but I can't connect swich to console.
I also installed the cisco usb console driver, but still got the same error.

Yes this connection confirmed itself by working on other systems.
Don't I need to connect to the console first to configure this switch?
I made a mistake by saying error, sorry please.

Did you power up the ASA with the console connected? Do you see anything?
Did you press return after connecting the cable?

I assume it is a used device. Perhaps the speed was changed to something else. Although you often see "strange characters" on the screen when the speed is wrong, I would also try other speeds, starting with 115200 and testing down.

have you tried below Option :
Configure the PC terminal emulation software or terminal for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
as per information you confirmed console cable working - so i suspect the ASA Console port may be faulty ?
