Disabling a forgotten password
The software security features of server module include a system password and a setup password. The password jumper enables these
password features or disables them, and clears any password(s) currently in use.
Prerequisites
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.
Steps
1. Turn off the server module by using the operating system commands or the CMC.
2. Remove the server module from the enclosure to access the jumpers.
3. Move the jumper on the system-board jumper from pins 2 and 3 to pins 1 and 2.
4. Install the server module in the enclosure.
5. Turn on the server module.
When the server module is turned on, power indicator turns on to solid green. Allow the server module to finish booting.
The existing passwords are not disabled (erased) until the system boots with the password jumper on pins 2 and 3. However, before
you assign a new system and/or setup password, you must reinstall the password jumper back to pins 1 and 2.
NOTE:
If you assign a new system and/or setup password with the jumper on pins 1 and 2, the system disables the
new password(s) the next time it boots.
