Forget Passwd!!!

[YAQUB_1]

Hi All,

I have forgotten my systems password, my systems info rp7420 and OS HP-UX 11.23 MCOE.

Few days ago I have configure trust systems. That time I have changed my root passwd. Now I can not remember which passwd I have applied that time.

Could you please tell me, which process I can recover my systems password.

Regards-Yaqub

Assalam-O-Alaaikum Yaqub,

For reseting the password, you need to bring system in single user mode,

Stop the boot process when it says "Press any key to stop in 10 seconds". It will be on

"Main Menu >" prompt.

Type "bo pri ISL" hit Enter

< Interact with IPL ? > YES
ISL> prompt.
Type "hpux -is" hit Enter.
System will be booted in single user mode and it will be logged in as "root".

Change the Password and reboot the machine.

Regards,
Asif Sharif

Yaqub, please do the following

1. Reboot in single user mode
Interrrupt the boot process at IPL
IPL>hpux -is
2. From command prompt
$:/> mount /usr
3. Change password as you would do normally
$:/>password root
4. Reboot the server
