Set ASDM password for ASA 5505

July 2nd, 2007 by

You should set a password on your Cisco ASA 5505 even if you don’t have remote management set up. If a computer inside your network gets hacked, it could be used to gain access to the firewall.

To set the enable password on your Cisco ASA 5505:

  1. Get into the command line. I prefer using the console cable to directly connect.
  2. Hit enter a few times to get the prompt.
  3. Type ‘ena’ to enter enable mode.
  4. Type ‘config t’ .
  5. Type ‘enable password PaSsWoRd’ , replacing the second, ‘PaSsWoRd’ with desired password.

Now when you enter enabled mode in the console you’ll be prompted for a password. When you log into the ASDM you leave the Username field blank, and type in only your enable password in the Password box.

If you found this helpful, help me by checking out the ads on the right. Thank you!
