Recovering the administrator password on HP OA/iLO

[guest]

In the event that the administrator password has been lost, misplaced, or forgotten, the following
procedure allows for resetting the administrator password to the factory default that shipped on the tag
with the Onboard Administrator module. The Onboard Administrator resets a lost password to Lost
Password/Flash Disaster Recovery (LP/FDR) mode. To recover the password and reset the administrator
password to the factory default:
Connect a computer to the serial port of the Active Onboard Administrator using a null-modem cable.
1. Open HyperTerminal (in Microsoft® Windows®) or a suitable terminal window (in Linux) and
connect to the Active Onboard Administrator.
2. Press and hold in the Onboard Administrator reset button for 5 seconds.
3. Select LP from the serial console prompt.
