Cisco PIX Firewall Password Recovery: Getting Started
The procedure for password recovery on the Cisco PIX Firewall with a floppy drive is slightly
different than with a diskless Cisco PIX Firewall. The difference is in how the Cisco PIX
Firewall boots with the binary files listed in Table 4-6. Firewall models that have a floppy
drive boot from a disk, and diskless firewall models boot from a TFTP server.
In addition to the binary files, you need the following items:
■ Portable computer or PC
■ Terminal-emulating software
■ TFTP software (only for diskless PIX Firewall models)
■ The rawrite.exe utility (needed only for firewall models that have floppy drives to create
the boot disk)
