Resetting the AIP SSM Password
Virtual Sensors to Security Contexts” section on page 28-5). If you do not specify a sensor
name, then the traffic uses the default sensor. In multiple context mode, you can specify a
default sensor for the context. In single mode or if you do not specify a default sensor in multiple

Modes
The following table shows the modes in which this feature is available:
Resetting the AIP SSM Password
You can use ASDM to reset the AIP SSM password to the default if the AIP SSM is running IPS
Version 6.0 or later. The default password is “cisco” (without the quotation marks). After resetting the
password, you should change it to a unique value using IDM. See the “Accessing IDM from ASDM”
section on page 28-5 for information about accessing IDM from ASDM.
Resetting the AIP SSM password causes the AIP SSM to reboot. IPS services are not available while the
AIP SSM is rebooting.
To reset the AIP SSM password to the default, perform the following steps:
Step 1 From the ASDM menu bar, choose Tools > IPS Password Reset.
Note This option does not appear in the menu if an SSM is not installed. This option appears as CSC
Password Reset if a CSC SSM is installed.
The IPS Password Reset confirmation dialog box appears.
Step 2 Click OK to reset the AIP SSM password to the default.
A dialog box displays the success or failure of the password reset. If the password was not reset, make
sure you are using Version 7.2(2) or later of the platform software on the adaptive security appliance and
IPS Version 6.0 or later on the AIP SSM.
Step 3 Click Close to close the dialog box.
