Resetting Passwords

I am having a problem with a few servers where i don't know what the password is to logon. Someone else seti it up. For the most part, all the other servers have the same password, but there are a few that i don't have any clue as to what the password is. Does anyone know of an easy way to resolve this?

Re: Resetting Passwords

Passwords on what exactly?
You don't provide any clues as to the OS, version etc.

The older versions of the HP Agents used a file that could be copied from a working Server to a non-working Server - c:\compaq\wbem\cpqhmmd.acl

On Windows, the new agents are integrated into AD. You logon using your domain account.
Again, these details can be configured in the Agents before deployment via the VCRM.

Re: Resetting Passwords

Another quick way around this if you have access to Windows, could be to just upgrade the drivers to a new version, and choose to overwrite existing settings, this should set passwords of your choice on the agents.
