Recover Password and access Firebox II

[vexxed]

Hi,

I have purchased an older Firebox II to learn about it and I cannot get into it. When I try and install the CD on my workstation it wants several serial numbers or keycodes which I do not have.
Is there a guide or a way to reset the device. Also where can I get software to access it, Watchguard won't help me without a fee.
I would appreciate any help.
thank you

You'll still need a software key for the firebox management, contact the person who sold it to you and they should be able to supply it.

To reset the password on the watchguard, connect a crossover cable to the trusted and external interfaces (i think, it might be optional and trusted) and boot it up. After a few minutes, the status lights will begin blinking regularly between the interfaces.

At this point the firebox is configured with a default IP of 192.168.253.1, password "wg" without the quotes. Configure your computer with the IP 192.168.253.2, connect the crossover cable from the trusted interface to your computer, and upload a new config.

You should then upload the config and it'll reboot
