IBM Password for Firmware woes!

Hi All,
On wanting to re-install AIX 6.1 on to an RS 6000 Power 9111 285 station, I've tried to get in to SMS and also to boot from the DVD drive, but now the Firmware is locked and asking for the password. I originally set the password about 6 years ago and have forgotten it because I've never needed it. Can anyone help me please in order to be able to boot from DVD, bypass, or change/wipe the current firmware password.
Thanks
