After resetting the HMC Access password, you can use it to authenticate HMC to the
Managed System.
If you have lost your administrator password, you cannot reset the HMC Access password
until you know your current administrator password. There are two methods to reset the
administrator password:
1. Use the reset toggle jumpers on the service processors.
2. Contact your service providers.
To reset the toggle jumpers on the service processor, move both reset toggle switches to the
opposite direction from current position. Please note that the last method of resetting toggle
switches will cause loss of all configuration data, including passwords, partition information,
profiles, and networking configurations. Please contact your local support representative for
this activity.
