Password reset of Cisco ASA 5505
Want to recover password while preserving current configuration. I have a couple of questions while following the link:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa72/configuration/guide/conf_gd/trouble.html#wp1049302
- In step 4 & 5
Do you select 'Y' at Do you wish to change this configuration? and
- In step 14
do you use config-register '0x10011' or Value found in step 5.

If I restore the config to the same as before changing the password, would the old password be restored again and on another reboot or power cycle I will have the same problem?
No, because you're booting without the running-config.
When you're at the point of copying the startup-config to the running-config, you're already in privileged mode. Just be sure to change the password while you're still there and before you reset the config-register.

Great Thanks
Once booted and you have copied your startup-config to your running-config, you would go into config t, change your password information and set your config-register back to 0x1.
Save all information and reboot normally.
