Restore factory default - Cisco ASA 5505

I use a little ASA 5505 for testing from time to time and sometimes I get it to the point where I just want to set it back to factory default.  To do this is rather simple, the following lines will get you there.

From a console connection perform the following.

'enable'
'conf t'
'config factory-default'
'write mem'
'reload'

You should now be able to use the default address 192.168.1.1 to get started.
