Profiles are case sensitive (hscroot is lower case), check the caps lock..



Try using Putty and the CLI to see if any of your profiles can get in that
way?



If so you should be able to set password(s) or even create a new profile
form there.



If not then a reboot and restore from backup will probably be required.

Oh, and both of my HMC's are located a few hours away in opposite
directions. I do the reboots remotely.



You are inspiring though. I did add my user id as an HMC user instead of
just using hscroot. Next step is to figure out how to set up ldap...

Why can't you reboot your HMC? I've rebooted during midweek with no
adverse effects on the systems supported by that HMC.

Unless, of course, the only session you have is your system console. If
that is the case I'd suggest hooking up a lan line to the Power system for
use by the partitions within it. Then you could add other sessions from
more than one user at a time.

Hi Folks, we last used the HMC to IPL about 3 weeks ago but now when

we

try



to logon we get Invalid userid or password specified.







We have 3 userid's that can access the HMC and I'm sure that we

haven't



changed anything about them but none of them work.



Has anyone seen this before and if so, how was the issue resolved?







Is there a backdoor userid/password that could be used?







Thanks, Frank
