System Homepage password

[Frank Luna]

Is there an easy way to reset a password to the local management agent homepage if it is forgotten.

Frank,

You can repair the agent settings with HP SIM 4.2 and this allows you to change the Administrator account password for the web agent system homepage.

Can you elaborate on how?

I presume this is a system that you are managing with HP SIM 4.2. If you add the system to HP SIM. Then select it from the list of all of your servers.

Then from the menu at the top of the page, select the configure menu and then the drop down will appear. This will then allow you to select the repair agent option. In here you will need to put in a Windows Administrative account, which will give you access to actually change the password. It will then ask you what you would like to configure, including trap locations, community strings, certificate replication and a new Administration account for the Web interface. If you run the job, it should then let you know if it was successful.

If you are not running HP SIM, let me know there is a different procedure.
