Recover Root Account Password

If necessary, system administrators can recover the preconfigured Oracle ILOM local root account or the password for the local root account by using the preconfigured Oracle ILOM default password.

To recover the root account password you need a local serial management port (SER MGT) connection to Oracle ILOM. In addition, if the Physical Presence State is enabled (the default) in Oracle ILOM, you must prove that you are physically present at the server.

The recover the root account password, perform these steps:

1. Establish a local serial management connection to Oracle ILOM and log in to Oracle ILOM using the default user account.

   For example: SUNSP-000000000 login: default

   Press and release the physical presence button

   Press return when this is completed...

2. Prove physical presence at the server.

   To prove physical presence at the server, press the Locator button on the front of the server.

   For the exact location of the Locator button, see Front Panel.

3. Return to your serial console and press Enter.

   You will be prompted for a password.

4. Type the password for the default user account: defaultpassword.
5. Reset the account password or re-create the root account.
