Managing the ASA CX Module
Reset the Password
You can reset the module password to the default. For the user admin, the default password is
Admin123. 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.
To reset the module password to the default, use one of the following techniques. In multiple context
mode, perform this procedure in the system execution space.

Shut Down the Module
Shutting down the module software prepares the module to be safely powered off without losing
configuration data. To gracefully shut down the module, enter one of the following commands at the
ASA CLI. In multiple context mode, perform this procedure in the system execution space.
If you reload the ASA, the module is not automatically shut down, so we recommend shutting down the
Note
module before reloading the ASA.
