Operating Systems AIX Root password for fresh 5.1 install on 43p-140? Post 302158586 by dukessd on Tuesday 15th of January 2008 08:02:10 PM

After install there is no root password, after (root) login you will be prompted to set the password.
I have seen this problem before with a few terminal setups.
Try a different console / serial cable / terminal emulator.
9600, 8, n, 1, hardware hand shake / Xon/Xoff
The serial cable needs to be both software and hardware wired, I'll go look for the pinouts.
