How can i reset admin's password on compaq ml 370 g3?
When i try to do it by hponcfg, it says "installed version 1.15, needed 1.41 or later".
Firmware update 9.0 says "no supported hardware", so i can't update it.

How can i reset password or update firmware for ilo?

On Proliant servers like ML 370 G3, there is typically a series of DIP switches on the system board. One of those switches will disable password protection on iLO.

The location and function of those DIP switches should be documented in the model-specific User Guide and/or Service Guide... but unfortunately those documents don't seem to be available from HP's support pages any more.

And what about firmware? I also have another ML 370 G3, but it is not compaq, it is HP. i'm sucsessfully update ilo firmvare on it to 1.94 version. Why on compaq firmware update program says "no supported hardware"?
