Factory reset OA module on HP c7000 Chassis

o1nder — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 13:41:06 GMT

I have HP c7000 chassis and I lost the password. I want to factory reset so I can use Administrator native password of OA module (Administrator password on OA module sticker).

When I did google people saying use Null modem cable but I don't have that cable and may take little time to arrange. Are there any way to physically just do reset to factory?

I can see "Reset" button on OA module and I tried press it for 5 second and more but nothing happened. What other way I have to reset to factory?

Hi @o1nder ,
I am not sure it works. but try it.

You could use a script on a USB drive to recover lost OA passwords.Attached are 2 scripts. ResetPW resets the “Administrator” account password to “password”. The OA-Add-admin script adds use “admin” password “hpinvent” to the OA, and all ILOs in the enclosure.

To run the scripts:
Copy the scripts to a USB drive
Place the USB drive in the active OA with file name and extention .cfg
Run the script from the Insight Display
USB Menu
Restore Configuration
usb://d1/.cfg

Script 1:

ADD USER admin hpinvent
SET USER ACCESS admin ADMINISTRATOR
ASSIGN SERVER ALL admin
ASSIGN INTERCONNECT ALL admin
ASSIGN OA admin
ENABLE USER admin

HPONCFG all << end_marker
<USER_INFO MODE=“write”>
<ADD_USER
USER_NAME=“admin”
USER_LOGIN=“admin”
PASSWORD=“hpinvent”>
<ADMIN_PRIV value =“Yes”/>
<REMOTE_CONS_PRIV value =“Yes”/>
<RESET_SERVER_PRIV value =“Yes”/>
<VIRTUAL_MEDIA_PRIV value =“Yes”/>
<CONFIG_ILO_PRIV value=“Yes”/>
</ADD_USER>
</USER_INFO>

Script 2:

SET USER PASSWORD “Administrator” “password”
