Several keys are used to control the diagnostics:
- The Enter key continues the procedure or performs an action.
- The Backspace key allows keying errors to be corrected.
- The cursor keys are used to select an option.

To continue, press Enter.

Ok,
in HMC for that particular LPAR what is the Keylock position?
Code:
In properties --> Setting --> under boot you see Keylock position: That should be set to Normal.

Check to see if any body has set it to manual, if so reset it to Normal and reactivate the LPAR.

Keylock position is set to normal as shown in the attached screenshot
