Trying to reset an iLO password. System is running RHEL 7.4 and I am logged on as root. Simply running hponcfg -w out gives the above error. I thought running hponcfg as root was supposed to bypass login? Any ideas? This is a DL560 G10 with hponcfg 5.4.0.

I did put in a ticket. I think it was failing because I am not running iLO in production mode, but the next level up in order to get 2048 bit private keys. I think I will have to do the iLO password recovery procedure. :(
