====== Sun ALOM password recovery ======
To overide the ALOM password on the system you will need to:
  - Attach console to SC "SERIAL MGT" port
  - Power on the server via the front power button. Once POST has completed, you will need to wait 1 to 2 minutes for a timeout to occur and the system to drop to the "ok>" prompt.\\ If you do not get the "Please login:" prompt (you will likely see the SC prompt) then you must power the system off remove the battery from the LOM board, wait a  minute, and re-install everything).\\ Below is an example of what you might see on the console:<code>
Please login: 
SC Alert: Host System has Reset
[wait one two minutes]
Serial line login timeout, returns to console stream.
ok>
</code>
  - Boot the system single usermode with the Solaris DVD:<code>
ok> boot cdrom -s
</code>

cd /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin
./scadm userpassword admin
./scadm resetrsc
</code>
  - Use the escape sequence "#." to get system back to the alom login prompt.
  - You can now log into the admin account using the password from step 4).
