Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

ASAv Password reset

Post by Jean-Christophe » Tue Mar 13, 2018 10:50 pm

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to reset password on ASAv ?
I don't see/have access to the bootloader at startup

Or how can I boot without loading the existing configuration ?

Thanks & Best Regards,
Jean-Christophe

The best is to take original ASAv from cisco and prepare for EVE accordingly our How to.
Original asav has no any passwords on board.

When it prompt enter enable password, simply hit enter

Hi,

If I start a new ASAv instance, I can connect normally.
I'm looking for a way to reset password on an ASAv where I lost the password.
Or boot without loading the configuration.

Thx.

If your default image is saved as you left with password, then best way is rebuild that EVE image from scratch.
If it is real ASA, then open TAC case tto cisco...
