To override the system's ALOM password, do the following:

1. Attach the console to the serial management port



2. Bypass the ALOM login prompt and bring up the "ok>" prompt

a. Power 'ON' the server.


b. Wait for the system to drop to the "ok>" prompt


Once Power On Self Test (POST) has completed following boot-up,
wait 1 to
2 minutes for a timeout to occur, which will drop the system to
the "ok>"
prompt. Below is an example of what you might see on the system
console:


Please login:


SC Alert: Host System has Reset


ok>


3. Boot the system to the operating system level.

ok> boot


Note: If the Solaris[TM] Operating System is not currently installed on
the server, you will need to install it at this point.

4. Use scadm(1) to reset the admin password

# /usr/bin/cd /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin
# ./scadm userpassword admin


5. Return to the ALOM login prompt

Note: The escape sequence to return to the ALOM login prompt is "#."
(pound+period)

#
# #.


6. Finally, test ALOM password access

Now, login into the "admin" account using the new passw

Could this be for Solaris 9. I'm running Solaris 8 & when it shows
SC Alert: Host System has Reset
The system stays hanging with
|
& not the ok> prompt.
