SSH Password Reset

To reset the SSH password system the system requires KVM either directly with a physical montior and keyboard of via the BMC HTML viewer. We recommend HTML viewer and will show the steps here. The process is the same for a physical monitor and keyboard

1) Connect to the BMC login and launch the HTML5 KVM

2) The KVM viewer looks similar to below. If the screen is blank press a few random keys to disable the screensaver

3) Reboot the system using the Power menu

4) Need to catch the system boot prompt here. One way is to tap space key or letter "r" every few secconds. This will prevent the bootloader from automatically starting.

5) Enter system "rescue" mode at the prompt and hit enter. This will boot the system into rescue mode.

6) Rescue mode drop to a default prompt as follows

7) Set a new password for fmadio user as follows

sudo passwd fmadio

8) Mount the persistent storage volume as follows. The exact path depends on the system SKU

FMADIO100v2 or FMADIO100p3:

sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt/store0

FMADIO20v3 or FMADIO40v3:

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/store0

9) Copy the shadow password file to persistant storage

sudo cp /etc/shadow /mnt/store0/etc/shadow

10) reboot the system

sudo reboot

11) SSH login fmadio has the newly set password
