Password recovery in single user mode
I want to recover my root password on an hp2470. I follow documentation and i try this :
-Connect to serial port
-CTRL+B to going in GSP mode
-ENTER+ENTER for the login/password GSP
-in GSP, power off then power on
-return to console mode
-ESC to stop boot process
-'boot pri'
-Y to the interact question.
-'hpux -is'
-And i always need a login/password !
Is the only possibility to use Core OS cd[0] ? OR, i have any chance with the serial console ?
Thanks

Re: Password recovery in single user mode
If this is the case you missed the "null out the password" for root

Re: Password recovery in single user mode
If you have booted the system into single user mode (hpux -is), then it should just be a case of running the following command from the command line :
passwd
or
passwd root
to reset the root password and then bring the system backup into multi user mode.
Regards,
Mark

Re: Password recovery in single user mode
INIT : Overriding default level with 'S' -----
Please enter your login name :
Password :
Authentication incorrect
Please enter your login name :
etc...
I can't type passwd because i have not a prompt in single user mode !
System always asks me for a login/password.

Re: Password recovery in single user mode
It is possible that you have authentication enabled when booting into single user mode ?
To verify, let the system boot into mullti-user mode and check /etc/default/security.
