PIX 515 upgrade troubles

| Hi All, | | I bought a 2nd hand PIX 515 with password enabled. The password reset | procedure | from Cisco did not work. Because, after tftp'ing the 635.bin, the PIX did | not ask for | password reset, but asked for the activation key. Happily I wrote this down | from the | sh ver, so i typed it in, but see, still the [unknown] password ! | So, i tried to upgrade the the PIX with 724.bin, what looked good... but: | the bin file is | copied to RAM and not to flash. Wit this of course the PIX cannot boot. | Cisco has a | cure, but only from the enable prompt...because I do not have the password , | that is | not possible for me... | Please, I hope that anybody can help me out, beacuse I am in BIG trouble | now..

Did you follow this procedure?

Hi Morph,

I overlooked the np70.bin part, i started rightaway with the 724.bin file... Thanks, now it's working ! Many thanks again !
