how to reset MP password of rx4640 server

[Sumit Ghosal]

Hi All,

I got a hp rx4640 server, the problem is that, MP password is lost. default passwd - Admin/Admin is not working. Is there any way to reset the MP password to factory defaults??

Thanks
Sumit

Hi,

first connect to the (serial) console.

Now execute
stty +resetGSP
There will be a message on the console, asking you to press "p" to reset the passwords. This method was perfectly working on older models, so I guess it is working for this box too.
Another way to achive this is pressing the "reset" button at the back behind the chassis (left side) for some seconds.
