"5. Send the character string to your switch support provider to obtain a Boot PROM recovery password." - Who should I send a character string?
07-28-2010 04:23 AM
sheff,
you must procede whit FOS Password Recovery, and not whit Boot PROM.
the character string consist only to obbait a new Password when BootProm Password was lost, this are TWO different things.

Ok! It works!
I did -
1. Connect the serial console to the SAN switch (or director). (Default serial console settings: Baud rate€“ 9600, Data bits 8, Parity€“ none, Stop bits -1, Flow control none).
2. Reboot the switch
3. Press ESC at the message “Hit ESC to stop autoboot:€œ, the Boot PROM menu displays with the following options:
1) Start system.
2) Recover password.
3) Enter command shell.
Option?
4. Type "3€" to Enter Command shell.
1) Start system.
2) Recover password.
3) Enter command shell.
Option? 3
Boot PROM password has not been set.
=>
5. Run the "printenv"€ command to check the environment variables (This step is optional).
=> printenv
AutoLoad=yes
ENET_MAC=00051E907F99
InitTest=MEM()
LoadIdentifiers=Fabric Operating System;Fabric Operating System
OSLoadOptions=quiet;quiet
OSLoader=ATA()0x9dfc7;ATA()0x1a24e8
OSRootPartition=hda1;hda2
SkipWatchdog=yes
gatewayip=192.168.36.4
ipaddr=192.168.36.61
submask=255.255.255.0
6. Set the environment variable "€œOSLoadOptions" to single
=> setenv OSLoadOptions=single
7. Run the command œauto
=> auto
8. After the switch boot in single user mode, remount the / partition as read/write:
sh-2.04# mount -o remount,rw,noatime /
9. Mount the second partition to /mnt (this will get from the value of "€œOSRootPartition"€ variable in "€œprintenv" output€“ usually it will be "€œhda2", that is, /dev/hda2)
sh-2.04# mount /dev/hda2 /mnt
10. Verify the mounted file systems by running the "€œmount"€ command:
sh-2.04# mount
/dev/root on / type unknown (rw,noatime)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=620)
none on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /mnt type ext3 (rw)
11. Run the "œpasswddefault"€ command as follows:
sh-2.04# /sbin/passwddefault
12. Reboot the switch.
sh-2.04# reboot
After this steps, I can logged in to switch via root/fibranne
Thanks!

Hi I've had the same problem. Does this procedure delete the switch config?
12-16-2014 11:54 PM
Hi Hiten,
That procedure only set the passwords back to default, it does not modify the switch config.
Rgds,
