BIOS Password on BL460c

Hi,

Can anyone please advise how I can reset my BIOS password on my BL460c-class blade?

I need to make some changes but do not know what the password has been set to. This is a newly purchased server so any default I can try may be useful.

Hi,

Great, thanks for this.

However do you know if there is any way that I can get the BIOS to pick up the internal disks? I have tried re-installing RHEL 5.4 but the system is still unable to see the internal hard disks. I can see via the ILO thatthe disks are in a good state.

Regards,

Ok the issue here was with the Smart Array Controller and hence the reason the OS could not see the disks. Solution involved accessing the Smart Array at boot up and re-creating the logical drive.
