Use the console ip and login. Reboot or boot it and interrupt at prompt and give as boot -IS will send you to single user mode.

Hi Muhammed,

These are the steps to go to single user mode in itanium.

1.Reboot the machine

2.Press any key when you see the following message "Press Any Key to interrupt Autoboot "
3.type "boot vmunix" on <\EFI\HPUX\AUTO> prompt
4.type "boot -is" on prompt

cheers!!
