Hi guys, How do we reset a Pix 501 back to factory default? And what is the default password and enable password?



I've done some research but cannot find anything on the reset of a PIX. Please help. Thanks guys.

No password by default.

If the empty password didn't work, then you probably need to do a password reset. You will need some additional software for that. The software and instructions are at
