This is how to fix the problem on your hand. Because the PIX firewall was configured to use AAA authentication, even after when you use the npXX.bin to erase the password, chance is that you will NOT be able to log onto the PIX because the configuration is STILL there, only the password has been reset. I am pretty certained that the AAA server is located on the network that the INSIDE interface resides. In that case, you would have to physically remove the cable that is connected to the INSIDE interface. That way, the PIX will be cutoff from the AAA server. When you first logon (from console port), you will still prompt for username; since AAA server is not reachable, the username you will be using is "pix". The password you will use for username pix will be "cisco" or "pixfirewall" or "pixadmin" (it has been a while since I did this). That's about it.
