Resetting ILOM password Sun Fire X4170

[mattyjim123]

Hi guys,

Not sure if anybody here will be able to help me, but hopefully we have some server guru's here!

I have a Sun Fire x4170 Server, and I want to reset the ILOM password. I am able to access the web interface, but I do not know the password.

I've looked up how to do this and it says I need to access the preboot menu. Can anybody give me a hint on how to do this? I'm completely stuck as to how to do this. Do I connect a PC to the Serial management ethernet port and SSH in?

Cheers for any help.

Thanks for your help, I managed to reset it fine.

Used putty and the serial setting on putty... Never noticed it even had that function before!

Thanks for your help anyway!
