How to set the lights-out Administrator password if it is lost
Now there is a utility that allows you to do it, provided you run it from the Administrator or root account under the host OS. You can do this without bouncing the server, either.
HP just released a new utility, HPONCFG, for Windows and Linux that allows you to get and set iLO and RILOE II settings from the host-- not the network.
For some quirk of technology, it is not yet on the lights-out download page, but it is on the server support pages under lights out firmware. Go figure.
You can download it here:
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/index.html
Navigate to Firmware - Lights-Out Management then HP Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility
Note: you must run this from Administrator or root account. This provides security.
Note: you must have the driver installed.
Note: you must have iLO 1.41 or later.
Note: you must have RILOE II 1.13 or later (not released quite yet).
It uses RIBCL scripts. You can download sample scripts in the archive "HP Lights-Out XML Scripting Sample" located here:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/lights-out/us/locate/69_5867.html
Use a script like the attached example to reset the iLO Administrator account using HPONCFG.

Re: How to set the lights-out Administrator password if it is lost
I downloaded the utility and have unpacked it. I would like to reset/view the admin password for a RILOE II. Even after looking at the supporting document, I am still confused as to what I am supposed to do to see/reset the lights out password. Could someone please spell it out for me? Thank you very much!

Re: How to set the lights-out Administrator password if it is lost
There are a couple questions in your message.
First, RILOE II:
You must have RILOE II 1.13 (or later) to use HPONCFG. 1.13 has not been released yet, but should be available in the next few weeks - say, by July, 2004.
I'll post a message here when it is released.
Second, passwords:
There is no way at all to retrieve a password from a lights-out processor. You can only set a password.
If you use RBSU to "set defaults" then the factory assigned password printed on the RILOE II tag or the iLO chassis tag will be restored. However, there is no way to retrieve these programmatically.

Re: How to set the lights-out Administrator password if it is lost
Here's what I have:
ProLiant DL380G3
RILOE II - Firmware 1.13
├в sm2user.dll" verified (drivers are loaded)
I'm running the following command:
HPONCFG /f add_user.xml /l log.txt
to access the attached xml script.
I have tried logging in with the local admin account, even with the current RIB password (this rib is already configured, I'm just using it for testing purposes)
This is the error I'm getting:
ERROR: Unable to communicate with the RILOE-II/iLO.
I've also tried on other boxes to make sure it's not the machine.
The only thing I can think of/that I'm not sure about is the RIBCL version (what should it be for HPONCFG?) but I've tried both 2.0 and 1.2 with no luck.
If anyone has any input I would be exceptionally grateful!!

Re: How to set the lights-out Administrator password if it is lost
I can't use cqplocfg on all of the aformentioned machines that I do not have the passwords for, to my understanding. This is why I'm trying to get HPONCFG to work.
Thanks.

Re: How to set the lights-out Administrator password if it is lost
The hponcfg requires the latest RILOE II Driver 3.2.1 from SmartStart 7.1. The 3.1.1 driver from SS 7.0 will not work. Please download the latest support pack http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/19613.html
Update cp004171.exe.
