Clearing and Resetting System Password Settings

It may be necessary at some time to clear and reset the system password.
IMPORTANT: This method of clearing and resetting system passwords is only necessary if
the current password is not known. Otherwise, when prompted, the password can be entered
followed by a forward slash (/). This operation removes the current password and allows one
of the following to be performed:
•
Enter the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) and set the password to a new value.
•
Leave the password value blank to disable the password feature.
When the system switch position S5 is set to the On position, the system is prepared
to clear the system password.
1. Power down the server.
2. Set the switch at position 5 to the On position.
3. Restart the server, and wait for confirmation.
4. Power down the server.
5. Set the switch at position 5 to the default Off position.
6. Restart the server. The password is cleared.

Clearing and Resetting System Configuration Settings

It may be necessary at some time to clear and reset system configuration settings.
When the system switch position S6 is set to the On position, the system is prepared
to erase all system configuration settings from both CMOS and NVRAM.
IMPORTANT: Clearing CMOS and/or (NVRAM) deletes the configuration information. Refer
to Chapter 4 for complete instructions on configuring the server.
To clear and reset the system configuration settings, follow the procedures outlined in
"Clearing and Resetting System Password Settings" section earlier in this chapter,
except for replacing switch position S6 for S5 in the process. After completing the
steps, press the F9 key to run the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) and reset all
system configuration settings.
