Disabling A Forgotten Password; Acquiring The Asset.com Utility - Dell PowerEdge M605 Hardware Owner's Manual

If you do not enter the correct password in three attempts, the system lets you
view, but not modify, the System Setup screens—with the following
exception: If System Password is not set to Enabled and is not locked through
the Password Status option, you can assign a system password (however, you
cannot disable or change an existing system password).
NOTE:
You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the Setup
Password option to protect the system password from unauthorized changes.
Deleting or Changing an Existing Setup Password
1 Enter the System Setup program and select the System Security option.
2 Highlight the Setup Password option, press <Enter> to access the setup
password window, and press <Enter> twice to clear the existing setup
password.
The setting changes to Not Enabled.
3 If you want to assign a new setup password, perform the steps in "Assigning
a Setup Password" on page 93.

Acquiring the asset.com Utility

The asset.com utility is not located in the Service Mode section of the Dell
OpenManage Server Assistant CD. To acquire this utility, use the Server
Assistant CD to create a bootable diskette; the utility is then automatically
created on that diskette. The asset.com utility will be available in the Service
Mode section in future releases of the Server Assistant CD.
