Resetting Administrator Password
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
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
PASSWORD_RSET 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 the CMC module is in a passive state before you begin.
To perform management actions, a user with Administrator privileges is required. If the administrator
account password is forgotten, it can be reset using the PASSWORD_RST jumper on the CMC board.
The PASSWORD_RST jumper uses a two-pin connector as shown in the following figure.
While the PASSWORD_RST jumper is installed, the default administrator account and password is enabled
and set to the following default values:
username: root
password: calvin
The administrator account is temporarily reset regardless if the administrator account was removed, or if
the password was changed.
NOTE: When the PASSWORD_RST 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
