So I've seen the links on the net to retrieve the Password of a Pix. Though that seems to be a process to get the Password and Save the Config.



I don't care what's on the unit. I bought it on eBay and just want to start from Scratch.



Is there a wipe procedure that is much simpler that I can do to wipe the unit to standard config, no Password?



Thanks, Scott


The only way I know to reset a PIX to factory defaults is by logging into the unit. You need to log in to the PIX and enter the write erase and reboot the unit without saving the config.

To reset the password please follow:
