How to Recover a Lost Password by Proving Physical Presence

If you need to recover a lost password or re-create the root account, you can use the preconfigured Oracle ILOM default user account. The default user account cannot be deleted and is available only through a local serial console connection.

1. Establish a local serial management connection to ILOM and log in to ILOM using the default user account. Refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Daily Management CLI Procedures Guide.
2. When prompted by Oracle ILOM, press the Locate button on the server front panel. Refer to Front Features and Components in Sun Server X2-8 (formerly Sun Fire X4800 M2) Installation Guide.
