Operating Systems AIX Password for Firmware woes! Post 302954190 by MichaelFelt on Saturday 5th of September 2015 08:39:57 AM

My guess is that the single pin will reset to factory settings. From memory the default password is ibm123, and (too) many people have reset it to something very similar, but at least 7 characters.

Basically, if there are no partitions (bare metal install) then you should not have any problems. And, assuming that the system, once booted as AIX does show the DVD you could just change the bootlist to the DVD and boot the system without going into the admin menu to change the bootlist.

Maybe this helps!?
