Management processor password

[HPquestion]

How I can change management processor password ?

[Geoff Wild]

If you need to reset - there is a reset switch on the back of most systems on the MP - which will clear the cmos, ip, passwords.

Default login is: Admin with password Admin

On some systems, you have to remove the cover to reset the MP.

If you know the password, then once in, goto cm menu, then so - Configure Security Options and Access Control

I don't see any sub menu any configuration option there after I enter CM. Am I missing something?

[Matti_Kurkela]

The MP passwords are specific for each user account, and there can be several. After going to Command Menu (CM), select UC for User Configuration. It will allow you to edit the features of the user account(s), including the password.

If you want to see all the commands available in the Command Menu, type "HE LI" for HElp, LIst of commands. You can also just type HE for HElp and follow the prompts.

Now press C, "Change the current user", and it will ask you which thing you wish to change.
At that point, you can choose to change the password.
