Reimage or Deploy to Version 6.2.0

Note that you cannot uninstall Version 6.2.0. You must reimage your appliance.

Reimaging Firepower on an appliance or deploying Firepower in a virtual environment restores the appliance to the factory defaults.

If you are unsure whether you should perform a traditional Version 6.2.0 installation or reimage or deploy to Version 6.2.0, see Update vs. Reimage vs. Deploy .

Note

If you reimage your device to Version 6.2.0, the Firepower password defaults to Admin123 after the reboot sequence.

Caution

Before you reimage a Firepower Threat Defense device or a Firepower Management Center that manages a Firepower Threat Defense device, you must unregister the managing appliance from the Cisco Smart Software Manager. If you do not unregister the managing appliance, orphan entitlements accrue against your total entitlements in the Smart Software Manager. For more information, see Unregister a Firepower Management Center and Unregister an FTD Device Using FDM.
