Resetting the Password
9.2 Resetting the Password in a Single CMM System
For nonredundant systems that contain only a single CMM, resetting the password will require
removing the CMM. This will cause any boards that are power controlled by the CMM become
unmanaged. Care should be taken to safely shut down boards in the system prior to removing the
CMM.
1. Safely shut down and power off boards being power controlled by the CMM.
2. Remove the CMM from the system.
3. Set dip switch S2-1 to “on”. The dip switch has a label indicating which way is on.
4. Re-insert the CMM into the system and allow the CMM to fully boot (blue light will go off
when fully booted).
5. Once at the login prompt, the password should now be reset to its default of cmmrootpass.
6. Login to the CMM to ensure the password was reset.
7. Remove the CMM from the system.
8. Set dip switch S2-1 back to its original “off” position.
9. Re-insert the CMM into the system and allow the CMM to fully boot (blue light will go off
when fully booted).
10. Login to the CMM and operate as normal.
11. Use the passwd command on the active CMM to change the CLI password if desired.
