Hi, :)
I have a cisco pix 501 firewall and I'm trying to restore the default parameters, so I launched the command "configure factory-default". Now through putty software I can reach the new IP address but I can not access. What is the default user? and password? I tried USER: pix PASSWORD: cisco but it does not work.
Thanks :)

I believe you just hit enter...there is no password. Also, the command "wr erase" from priv exec will bring it to factory defaults...if that doesn't work, you can always do a password recovery---I know on the PIX520 it involves a floppy, but I don't think the 501 has a floppy, does it?

To resolve this problem definitively, I have chosen for a full recover and now everything is ok. Thank you
