Cisco PIX OS 7.0 - Cisco. Neither will the 501. Could someone please tell where abouts on the cisco website you found OS 7.0 for download.

I am having so hard time accomplishing this b/s i am connected through hyperterminal to this pix and i don't know the ip it is assigned nor i have the password to get to it. I read the process listed below from cisco, but i am on the monitor and any command i type is not working b/s the available commands after i enter help are very few including enabe, login, logout, pager and quit. I have the file downloaded from cisco and i have installed tftp. To use the NP files, put them into a folder accessible by your TFTP server and perform the following steps: 1. Reboot the PIX 2. Enter the Monitor Mode (press Break or Esc to interrupt flash boot) -- this is where i am stock.

At the Monitor >prompt, type the following commands: Interface 1 This sets the inside interface for TFTP Addresses a.b.c.d Use the inside interface of your PIX from the map for a.b.c.d Server m.n.o.p Use the address of your TFTP Server for m.n.o.p File NP63.bin Use the file that is correct for your version of PIX OS TFTP To start the download 4. Type y when presented with the question 'Do you wish to erase the passwords?

It sounds like the pix completed booting and you need to 'enable' to access privileged mode before you can do anything. You say you're at the monitor, but are you actually seeing a 'monitor>' prompt? If not, you didn't hit the break key when it was booting. Make sure you're actually hitting the break key - some keyboards require you to hit the control key, or on my dell laptop break is the Fn key and the pause key (it says break in blue letters meaning hit the Fn key at the same time).

Here are the docs from cisco on recovering a password. I guess you can also hit the escape key, which you also mentioned. Per the cisco link I posted above, you should see something close to the following - if you don't have that monitor>prompt you didn't break it correctly.
