https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/server-won-t-boot-help/m-p/2739024#M1760 Hello,<BR /><BR />Normally, server appliances cannot be fixed/repaired by the customer itself. You should use your maintenance contract or your warranty to have it repaired by HP.<BR /><BR />The password that the system asks at LILO prompt seems to be a security feature of LILO, aka "restricted". With this option in /etc/lilo.conf, in conjunction with a password, one must supply a LILO password to be able to change the LILO boot options.<BR /><BR />If you have a boot device other than the main hard disk, try to boot on a rescue floppy or install cdrom of any Linux distribution, then do the fsck from that rescue floppy/cdrom.<BR /><BR />Otherwise, try to guess the LILO or maintenance password. Try hplinux, hponly, linuxhp, root, hp...<BR /><BR />But if I were you, I would first contact my HP support line before trying any other option.<BR /><BR />Good luck.<BR /><BR />Kodjo<BR /> Thu, 06 Jun 2002 17:51:26 GMT Kodjo Agbenu 2002-06-06T17:51:26Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/server-won-t-boot-help/m-p/2739023#M1759 I'm using a server appliance (sa1100) and after a power-loss the server won't boot. Since this thing is WEB Based Admin, there's no root password set at install time. <BR />I've connected a PC to the serial port to view the boot process. I see the messages "/dev/hda6 is inconsistent need to fsck manually without the -a or -p option". <BR />I've tried to run "LINUX SINGLE" at the LILO boot prompt to change the root passwd via hyper-term but the system still request a root passwd. What can I do to run the fsck???
