Password Problems

If you have forgotten the password, your HP NetServer will function normally,
but you will not be able to change the system configuration settings in the setup
utility.
To reset the password, follow these instructions:
1. Log off all users and shut down the network operating system according
to directions in your NOS documentation.
2. Power off the server according to the instructions in Chapter 2, Controls,
Indicators, and Ports.
3. Disconnect the power cords and cables and, if necessary, label each one
to support re-assembly.
CAUTION
The power supplies will continue to provide standby current
to the server until the power cords are disconnected.
4. Open the system board access panel (see Chapter 3, Opening and
Closing the HP NetServer, for instructions).
While you can clear the system configuration in the rack, it is
recommended that you remove the system board assembly to perform
configuration changes.
5. Move Switch 6 on the system switch to the ON position (refer to Figure
12-1).
6. Close the system board access panel and reconnect the power cords and
cables. Power on the server and let it complete its startup routine. The old
password will be erased.
7. Power off the server, disconnect the power cords and cables, and open
the system board access panel.
8. Return Switch 6 to the OFF position.
9. Close the system board access panel and reconnect the power cords and
cables.
10. Restore the server to normal operation.
11. If you want to set the password again, during the power-on system
hardware test press the [F2] function key to start the setup utility.
12. Set the new password in the Security menu.
13. Press the [F10] function key, and answer "Yes" to save the configuration.
14. Exit the setup utility.
