Operating Systems Solaris Forget ILOM Username passwd, how to reterive it from OS with out rebooting Post 302531735 by Perderabo on Friday 17th of June 2011 03:45:14 PM

I have a procedure for a T5120 that involves popping the lid and installing a jumper. Don't know if it works on your boxes and in any event it clearly does not meet your "not rebooting" requirement.

Half of the problem is easy though. The user name is "root". Also, did you try "changeme" for the password? That is the factory set default and it's what the jumper would set it to. (This is very widely known so I see no problem in mentioning it here.)
