Operating Systems Solaris Changing the password of a generic user from ILOM Post 302983409 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 11th of October 2016 07:26:54 AM
Old 10-11-2016
A few questions to start, I'm afraid:-
  • How did you restrict it to access from cloneroot only?
  • Can you login on the console session as root?
  • Do you have backup software that you can use to restore files?


Hopefully someone can work out a way back in for you.
