Network Station - Administrator password reset
Applicable to: World-Wide
If you need to reset the administrator password on an IBM Network Station, do not try to "short' out any hardware, there is no battery in the unit that can be cleared. The password is set in the Network Station Manager software by activating the NSM icon at the server. The setting is under "hardware", "workstations", "system defaults" (or whatever unit you are trying to clear), then under "miscellaneous Settings" - "Administrator Password".
The password is set in the hardware when the kernel downloads and is stored in the NVRAM. If you clear this variable in the NSM software, the password will clear after they:
1) Boot Normally
2) Log into the GUI
3) Log out
4) Power down
5) On the next boot the password will be cleared.
