You will need an acount o get firmware. The 60B are still has firmware available at ftp://pftpintl:F0rt1intl@support.fortinet.com/FortiGate The build as #672 patch15 9/5/13 fwiw: The problem your encountering is typical in some of the older units. And the only resolution is to reformat and install firmware. I hope you have a backup of your config or your config was small and non complex.
