My company has recently received a used PIX 501 Firewall Version 6.3(3)
which we are wanting to configure and use on our network. I have so
far been unable to reset the password using the password recovery
procedures given to me by Cisco. When I attempt to download the
password recovery file (np63.bin) through tftp, it gives me the
following error:

tftp np63.bin@192.168.0.117 via 192.168.0.1
TFTP failed (return:-10 arg:0x1)

I have tried other .bin files, but with no luck. Anybody know what I'm
doing wrong?

I'll have to guess here, but the two most likely causes are:
1) that the file is not in the default directory used by the tftp
server; or
2) that the file (and associated directories to that point) do not
have permissions to be read by the tftp server process

Hope this helps.
