Pix 501 password reset help

[khilari]

I got a PIX from work; didn't know the enable password. So i am trying password reset following the procedure in the URL below

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/110/34.shtml

when the pic boots up it inclines that it has version 4.3 or earlier, so i am choosing nppix.bin file to reset the password

[quoting firewall]
CISCO SYSTEMS PIX-501
Embedded BIOS Version 4.3.200 07/31/01 15:58:22.08
Compiled by morlee
16 MB RAM

Cisco Secure PIX Firewall BIOS (4.2) #6: Mon Aug 27 15:09:54 PDT 2001
Platform PIX-501
Flash=E28F640J3 @ 0x3000000
[quoting ends here]

Now I get to the point where the pix takes the bin file and applies it, but I haven't seen the prompt to erase the password... something like

Cisco Secure PIX Firewall password tool (3.0) #0: Tue Aug 22 23:22:19 PDT 2000
Flash=i28F640J5 @ 0x300
BIOS Flash=AT29C257 @ 0xd8000

Do you wish to erase the passwords? [yn] y

I still see

monitor> tftp
tftp nppix.bin@192.168.11.23 via 192.168.11.1...................................

Am i missing something here? Please tell me how I can reset the password for this PIX. Thanks,

Hello,


Did you use the nppix.bin file for 4.3?
