According to Cisco:

"The PIX 501 (since its introduction) and the PIX 506/506E ship with factory-default configurations as of PIX Firewall software Version 6.2. (The PIX 501 and PIX 506/506E can be reset to their factory default configuration with the configure factory-default command.)"

You ain't gonna be able to do it with your current 6.0 OS. You can always **** everything and start from scratch....

You might want to start posting these PIX related questions in the CCSP forum instead of the CCNA and CCNP forums.
