Lost Root password to T3 StorEdge?

[sunguru99]

The administrator who used to work on this array is log gone, and with him went the root password. There has to be a way to retrieve the root password or reset it. Can anyone please help me?

default password is sun1

recover password:

1. Stop all I/O going to the T3(s).

2. Connect a console cable from the master unit to a video terminal and
power off all units (both trays in a partner group).

3. Power up the master unit (leave alternate master off) and interrupt
the boot process by hitting RETURN when you see the following message:

"hit the RETURN key within X seconds to cancel..."

NOTE: If you leave the alternate master on, the T3 Operating System (OS)
will continue to boot. Eventually, the OS will assume there is a problem
with the master (that we interrupted), disable it, and make itself the
master.

4. At the "T300-EP" prompt, use the 'set passwd' command to view (and
memorize...) the password.
