the RAID firmware change to be effective.

host is powered on, an error message is displayed. The chassis configuration administrator privilege is required to change this
setting.

Resetting Forgotten Administrator Password
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. Perform troubleshooting and simple
repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and
follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
To perform management actions, a user with Administrator privileges is required. The CMC software has a user account
password protection security feature that may be disabled if the administrator account password is forgotten. If the
administrator account password is forgotten, it can be recovered using the J_PWORD jumper on the CMC board.
The CMC board has a two-pin password reset connector as shown in the following figure. If a jumper is installed in the reset
connector, the default administrator account and password is enabled and set to the default values of username: root and
password: calvin. The administrator account is reset regardless if the account has been removed, or if the password was
changed.
NOTE: Make sure that the CMC module is in a passive state before you begin.

changed.
NOTE:
When the J_PWORD jumper is installed, a default serial console configuration is used (rather than configuration
property values), as follows:
cfgSerialBaudRate=115200
cfgSerialConsoleEnable=1
cfgSerialConsoleQuitKey=^\
cfgSerialConsoleIdleTimeout=0
cfgSerialConsoleNoAuth=0
cfgSerialConsoleCommand=""
