Learn about a possible solution to try if a local console on a network (LAN) receives a device ID password error message.
Due to a synchronization problem involving the service tools device ID's password between the client (PC) and server, you might receive the following error message while having a local console on a network (LAN) connection:
The PC service tools device password and the System i service tools device password do not match. Either the service tools device ID is already in use or the passwords must be RESET on this PC and the System i.
To resynchronize these passwords, see Resynchronizing the PC's and the server's service tools device ID passwords.
