How to Reset PIX

[userice]

I have a PIX 506e. I don't know the password, and I don't know the its interface addresses. I cannot find out its IP because it does not do DHCP. I just want to reset it to factory default. The pervious IT person didn't have any paper work done on it.

I don't know PIX's outside or inside IP address. How can I find out its current IP address

Is there anyway to reset PIX via jumper?

do you have physical access to the device?? if so you connect a console cable to it and initiate the recovery procedure from there. if you don't have physical access then check the DHCP server that is on the inside of the PIX to see what it is giving out as the gateway ip. then connect to that IP from a machine on the inside.

you can also go to a site like whatismyip.com and it will tell you the public IP address taht you are using to access the Internet. chances are that the address returned on this site is the one assigned to the outside interface.
