removing boot password

[mike potvin]

we are having an issue in getting some servers to boot due to emc cache problem. When trying to get to -isl, we are prompted for a "boot password". how do we work around/remove this password?

thanks

Shalom,

You have to log on some way and clear the password. If you don't have it you are in a bind and may need a system engineer.

thanks, we ended up calling this in for support and are working with HP directly.

Again, thanks for the reply.

I'm sure this can be set at the command line, but the only place I know of for this is:

SAM -> Auditing & Security -> System Security Policies -> General User Account Policies

And on that screen is a check box to "Require Login Upon Boot To Single-user State"

I don't know of any other passwords that would be required, especially for ISL.

We managed to get in with a "boot" cd and then we were able to manipulate the bootauth file.
