3.
Enter either

for
2 == Display password blob for root
or enter

for
3 == Display password blob
for hpesupport
.
The ciphertext (blob) is displayed.
4.
Copy the entire ciphertext and paste it into an email to Hewlett Packard Enterprise support or to the
approved service provider. The ciphertext is safe to email, because the random credential contained in
the ciphertext is first encrypted and then wrapped using a public key. Only Hewlett Packard Enterprise
can unwrap the encrypted credential using the corresponding private key.
When copying the ciphertext,
copy the text starting with:
- - - Begin tpd blob -
- -
and all the text ending with:
- - - End tpd blob - -
-
