reset BIOS password on Proliant ML 110 Gen 10 server

[dougoaten]

Hi,

I acquired a used Proliant ML 110 Gen10 Server and nobody from the previous owner knows the setup password. The IT tech left the company and didn't leave much documentation

I just need the procedure for resetting the BIOS

Please help me!

Thanks

Hi ,

If you have access to the system physically you can Use the System maintenance switch (s5) located on the system board.
Once the Password is reset you can set the switch back to off.
S51 Off Off = Power-on password is enabled. (reg Page 69 for location of the switch)
On = Power-on password is disabled
ref to Page 71 of the Maintenance and Service Guide
