Hi <br />
I have a cisco that i did not know the ip on so i wanted to restore factory default<br />
<br />
I found this link:<br />
<a href="http://www.mailbeyond.com/restoring-factory-defaults-to-the-cisco-asa5505-firewall-via-the-console" rel="ugc">http://www.mailbeyond.com/restoring-factory-defaults-to-the-cisco-asa5505-firewall-via-the-console</a><br />
<br />
I can connect to the terminal using &quot;Putty&quot; on Com1<br />
Its a blank terminal<br />
The next step it says to press enter but that brings it to<br />
rommon #1&gt;<br />
At this commend the &quot;ena&quot; or &quot;enable&quot; does not work<br />
&quot;help&quot; brings me a list of command but i can not see any to start a factory restore<br />
<br />
Its like i have to get out of the &quot;rommon&quot; mode?<br />
I saw one place to type &quot;rb&quot; but not accepted<br />
<br />
Any idea how to to a factory restore from where i am?<br />
Its the first time on a terminal window so its new for me<br />
<br />
Kind Regards<br />
Morten
