I have just taken over this post and was not left the password to access the pix, do you know how i can reset the password to the default.
 
You need to get a hold of the pix password recovery file from cisco.com for your version of PIX OS. Then you need to reboot and break the pix in its bootup sequence from the console and then tftp that file over, it will then ask you if you wish to reset the passwords. Then you can set a new one.
