Unfortunately, wr erase only works from enable
mode. We can only get to monitor mode, as the Pix hangs after loading
the flash image... I'm guessing it hangs in the process of loading the
startup-config.

Best way to reset a PIX to factory defaults (if you can log
in) is "write erase" then reboot. If you don't have the password,
check this out: "http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/110/34.shtml#pix_without".
Not
100% if you can do it from the monitor, but I've been in a similar trap in
the past and distinctly remember using "write
erase."
Enjoy!

This is way off topic, but I'm desperate so
I'm appealing to the list...
We just purchased a used Cisco pix 515
running 7.0(4) that won't boot due to what we believe is a corrupted
startup-config. Does anyone out there know how to clear NVRAM on a
pix from monitor mode? We can't get to enable mode due to the
corrupted start-config, so it has to be done from monitor
mode.
We've tried everything we can think of, even
a special flash erase image from Cisco, but it needs the Pix to be running
6.2(2) to work, and we don't have that image.
Any Pix experts out there have any
ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Darin.
