You whacked the configuration of the PIX (best case).,. worse case is you whacked the actual PIX code which means a reload from scratch.

You should be able to use the console port and get the interface (inside) assigned an ip address and bring it up. Turn on the HTTP server access and you should be able to reconfigure the PIX via the PDM (GUI)

To assign an IP address for the inside interface:

ip address inside <ip address> <mask>


To enable the http server:

http server enable
http <ip net> <mask>0 inside

To get DHCP assigned IP address and routes for OUTSIDE:

ip address outside dhcp setroute

You will still need to set up NAT (if required)
