Goal

If iLo password is lost or even iLo username is not known, but HP server is still accessible with ssh, there is a way to reset iLo password remotely and if needed create a new user.
 

Solution

By default, there is a user Administrator that exist on iLo. Thus even if additional iLo username that was created is not known, we can reset password for Administrator user first and access iLo wit these credentials or proceed to new user creation afterwards.

1. Login to HP server as root
2. Move to temporary directory:
   
   cd /tmp
3. Create a new xml file with contents as below, where Administrator is a user for which we are resetting password, TestPassword is the password being set:
   
   vi ilopassreset.xml
   Content:
   
   <ribcl version=”2.0″>
   <login user_login=”Administrator” password=”password”>
   <user_info mode=”write”>
   <mod_user user_login=”Administrator”>
   <password value=”TestPassword”>
   </password>
   </mod_user>
   </user_info>
   </login>
4. Verify that file content is correct:
   
   cat ilopassreset.xml
5. Run hpoconfig using previously created xml:
   
   hponcfg -f ilopassreset.xml -l log.txt
   Expected output is:
   
   Script succeeded
6. if there is a different output, please look into content of log.txt and if required open an SR.
