Go to the console, type "ctrl-B" to enter the GSP.
Under GSP, type "rs" to reset the system, type "Y" to the confirmation.
Don't walk away when system resets. Watch the console screen and press any key at the 10-second pause.
press "Y" to enter active ISL.
Under ISL, type "hpux -is" to enter the single user mode.
When prompt the #, type "passwd root" to change the root password and restart the system.
