If required, see the “Restoring the Default Password” section on page 32-14.

See the “Wizard Setup” section on page 32-15.

Restoring the Default Password

You can use ASDM to reset the CSC SSM password. You can reset this password to the default value, which is “cisco” (excluding quotation marks). If the CSC password-reset policy has been set to “Denied,” then you cannot reset the password through the ASDM CLI. To change this policy, you must access the CSC SSM through the ASA CLI by entering the session command. For more information, see the Cisco Content Security and Control SSM Administrator Guide.

Note This option does not appear in the menu if an SSM is not installed.

To reset the CSC SSM password to the default value, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Choose Tools > CSC Password Reset.

The CSC Password Reset confirmation dialog box appears.

Step 2 Click OK to reset the CSC SSM password to the default value.

A dialog box appears, indicating the success or failure of the password reset. If the password was not reset, make sure you are using Version 8.0(2) software on the ASA and the most recent Version 6.1.x software on the CSC SSM.

Step 3 Click Close to close the dialog box.
