Re: recovering password HMC needs to connect to FSP

Did you remember to "Save HMC upgrade data" just before you popped the
upgrade dvds in?
Might be why it forgot all the systems...
If you still remember the ASMI password, you can try to get a laptop onto
the HMC2 port (check it's IP from function 30** 3001 on the panel) from the
ASMI i think you can reset that password.
If not i think a call to IBM is due to get the service password (i believe
it's time-dependent so only they with the keygen can give it to you). I
dont remember what kind of machine you have but i doubt you can take the
service proc out to reset it (if it still has the dip switches p5 machines
had, i think they took those out).
Best Regards
Roberto

To make a bad thing worse, the HMC no longer says bad password, now it
says the password is locked. Too many tries evidently.

I've upgraded the code on my one HMC.

Good news is that it now talks perfectly to both the racks in the city
remote from it. Couldn't get that to work before. It just brought those
systems right up. Never told it to search or anything.

Bad news is that it lost all memory of the local system. So I typed in
the IP address, but I can't remember the password. How do I figure that
out or reset it?
