How to reset an ILOM password

worked for ILOM 2x (in my case on a 7410 and 7310)

While connected (serial) on power-on, you will see "Booting linux in 3 seconds...", then you will have to enter the "xyzzy" combination and you will be dropped into this small boot manager shell

U-Boot 1.1.4
custom GRASP U-Boot  1.3 (Sep 12 2008 - 13:52:00) r36901
[...]
Booting linux in 3 seconds...
xyzzy

DORADO_ONE>setenv bootretry=-1
DORADO_ONE>setenv preserve_conf no
DORADO_ONE>saveenv
DORADO_ONE>reset

It's reseted to default, so "changeme" will be the root password again.

Platform ok?

nice to watch for errors on the platform

-> show -l all /SYS current_config_state==(disabled,degraded)
show: Query found no matches.
