    To recover ASA password or just erase the old config if password is not known:

    • Connect to the ASA console port
    • Power off the ASA, and then power it on.
    • After startup, press the Escape key when you are prompted to enter ROMMON
      mode.
    • To update the configuration register value,

    Enter the following command:

    rommon #1> confreg 0x41

     

    To boot with fresh config:

    rommon #2> boot

     

    TIP: you can use clear configure commands set to quickly clear part of ASA configuration. Example of clearing the names:

    ASA#conf t
    ASA(config)#clear configure name
