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 5 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 6 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 5 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 6 for 5 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.
