Issue

If a user has lost their login account or passwords for Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) II, there is a way to restore the default login credentials, but it will also reset all the RSA II settings.

Affected configurations

This tip is not machine specific.

The system is configured with one or more of the following IBM Options:

  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 13N0382
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 39Y9566
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2984
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2986
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2987
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2988
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2989
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2990
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2991
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2992
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2993
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2994
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2995
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2996
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 59P2997
  • Remote Supervisor Adapter II, Option 73P9341

This tip is not Operating System specific.

Additional information

To reset the password and account ID and all RSA II settings, perform the following:

  • Boot the machine into BIOS (F1)
  • Select Advanced Setup
  • Select RSA II settings
  • Select <<< RESTORE RSA II DEFAULTS >>>
  • Select Save Values and Reboot RSA II

The RSA II will lose all settings and be set back to default settings and login:

  • USERID
  • PASSW0RD

This requires that the RSA II adapter be flashed with a firmware that the machine is compatible with. The user may have to flash the RSA II firmware through an operating system before performing this procedure.
