Troubleshooting the CSC Module
Resetting the Password
You can reset the module password to the default. The default password is cisco. After resetting the
password, you should change it to a unique value using the module application.
Resetting the module password causes the module to reboot. Services are not available while the module
is rebooting.
If you cannot connect to ASDM with the new password, restart ASDM and try to log in again. If you
defined a new password and still have an existing password in ASDM that is different from the new
password, clear the password cache by choosing File > Clear ASDM Password Cache, then restart
ASDM and try to log in again.
To reset the module password to the default of cisco, perform the following steps.
Detailed Steps
Step1 From the ASDM menu bar, choose Tools > CSC Password Reset.
The Password Reset confirmation dialog box appears.
Step2 Click OK to reset the password to the default.
A dialog box displays the success or failure of the password reset.
Step3 Click Close to close the dialog box.
Step2 hw-module module 1 recover boot
Example:
ciscoasa# hw-module module 1 recover boot
Transfers the image from the TFTP server to the module and
restarts the module.
Step3 show module 1 details

Checks the progress of the image transfer and module restart
process.
The Status field in the output indicates the operational status of
the module. A module operating normally shows a status of “Up.”
While the ASA transfers an application image to the module, the
Status field in the output reads “Recover.” When the ASA
completes the image transfer and restarts the module, the newly
transferred image is running.
