i'm not quite agreed with nqravatt. if this command works it would wipe out everything from the flash including your asa image and causing pritty rough exercise restoring the image by using xmodem. anyway i've just googled it and it appears that the old pix firewalls had the &quot;configure factory-default&quot; command. more likely works for asa as well. &nbsp;erase mem makes basicaly the same thing it just clears your running-config thats why you should do write mem to store the changes in the startup-config.
