Hi
I have lost the VPNGROUP password configured in the PIX. How do I
recover VPNGROUP password?

I believe "write net" will do it. But I don't know how to set up the
tftp. Can anyone kindly help?

Thanks

Yes, that is correct.

The process of setting up tftp varies with the platform that you
are trying to set up the tftp server on. If you are using Windows,
you may wish to use Kiwi CatTools,
http://www.kiwisyslog.com/cattools-info.php
or a lot of people use the tftpd from Solarwinds.net
http://www.solarwinds.net/Tools/Free_tools/TFTP_Server/


If you happen to be asking how to do the setup on the PIX:

go into configuration mode and command

tftp-server inside IPADDRESS DESTINATIONFILENAME

after that, when you are in configuration mode (important point, enable
mode is -not- enough for this), write net will send the file over.

Note: a common issue on tftp servers is that many of them insist
that the destination file -already- exist and be writable by everyone
-- so as to prevent random people from depositing files.

Another common issue with tftp servers is that they usually will only
allow files to be written into directories that you have preconfigured
on the server. The method of preconfiguring depends on the platform
and tftpd server program in use.
