Depends how you reset the PIX. &nbsp;If you did a clear config all and then a wr erase reload all existing configuration will be erased, including the certificate.<br />
<br />
The PIX OS file will not be deleted by the above method.<br />
<br />
If the config was cleared as per the above, you won't be able to access the firewall over the network as it will only have a default config which doesn't include addressing etc. &nbsp;You'll need to console into the device, give it some base settings (IP addresses, allow https access).<br />

Resetting Cisco PIX Firewall

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Cisco

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
