Are you able to login from terminal?

System Management Homepage (SMH) uses root password set in terminal.

You can login to the system using the terminal / telnet and change the password. It will reflect for SMH.

If you are not able to access this System 1 though through PuTTy or telnet and if you have access to this system 1 through a rhost entry ( Say, you have the root password for another system [System 2]and its rhost entry has been registered in this system 1), then you can login to that other system [System 2] and use remsh to login into this system [System 1] and reset the password using passwd command.

To do any operation on SMH, you will have to have your root password or any other user's password.

[shabash]

How can SMH be login from terminal?
can you please elaborate it.
i had used x-manager and brower option but i am unable to login from root account even after changing password.
i have 2.2.6 version of SMH installed with 11i.v3.
should i go for upgrade the version of SMH?
how can i change the SMH root password?

I think they were suggesting to test your access using telnet or ssh. Verify that you are using a known/good root password before attempting to use SMH's web interface.

What I meant to say was that, SMH uses the same password with which you login into the terminal using telnet or ssh.

From your reply I take it that you are able to access the machine as you have changed the password, but you are not able to login into SMH.

Of the top of my head, I can suggest you to restart hpsmh daemon.

/opt/hpsmh/bin/hpsmh stop
/opt/hpsmh/bin/hpsmh start

You can try SMH TUI (Text User Interface) and let me know if you can do your operations.

To access HP-SMH TUI, just type,
$smh

I am exploring if there are any security constraints that are blocking hpsmh Web. I will get back to you on that.
Meanwhile, you might want to take a look at Section 3 Configuring root of SMH User Guide for 11iv3. (http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-3386/5992-3386.pdf)

[shabash]

Its 11iv2 not 11iv3
when i checked the command
$smh
it says paramter not set
you want me to follow the guide at http://docs.hp.com?for hp 11v2 system administration configuration guide

Try the following:
1) From the command line of your system, set the DISPLAY variable. Then run "smh" command. It will launch SMH in a web browser.
2) You might need to change security setting in IE. Add each managed system into the local intranet zone twice, once as: http://hostname:2301 and once more as: https://hostname:2381. The alternatives to this solution are to decrease the level of security settings in the browser (not recommended) or alter the browser security settings to allow cookies (both stored and per-session) and allow active scripting.
3) Exceute the following
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh stop
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/hpsmh autostart

If you are still not able to launch SMH let me know the browser you are using & the error that you are getting once SMH login fails.
