Yes, the primary unit will failover, though it may take up to a minute.
There's a bug in many versions that causes the failover process to take much
longer (10 minutes) if you're using a syslog server. They fixed it by turning
off syslogging of the failover process!
Not a problem, since I have the OS diskette. I didn't need to do the
recovery, I was seeking the general knowledge around it. Here is another
question though.
When you have 2 firewalls and they are setup for redundancy, ( forgive my
ignorance if I'm using the incorrect terms and feel free to correct me. )
and one fails, does the other automatically step in, or how does that work?

I have done the PIX password recovery per CCO and can confirm that it does
indeed work as stated. The only "gotcha" I can think would be a problem is
knowing the correct PIX OS version running on the box.

I've been told be someone who attended the Cisco training course on PIX that
to do a password recovery on one you have to send it to Cisco for them to do
it. However looking on Cisco's Web site I found the Password Recovery
Procedure for PIX. The only one I have access to is in production so I can't
"test" this out. Comments will be appreciated.
Thanks,
