Cisco Firepower 2100 series - Import/Export config and Factory Reset

Hey all,

I have 2 FTD's managed by an FMC in our environment. However, the admin password to log into the FTD's CLI is not known to anybody and I've read around that I have to factory reset the FTDs in order to recover it. You would think that you could manage all admin credentials from the web gui, but of course cisco separated the credentials from the web gui and the cli. So far my experience with ciscos new generation of firewalls has not been a great one (old school ASA and IOS guy) and was wondering if anybody here has any experience with recovering admin credentials from the cli. What steps did you follow? Any hidden "gotchas" when doing this? Was it easy to add these devices back to the FMC?
