Description
The front panel menu system provides an option to reset the cluster superuser password. This option resets the password to a random string that is displayed on the front panel. You can then use this password to access the system. You can change the password at the next login.
Issue the svctask setpwdreset command to view and change the status of the password-reset feature for the display panel. Passwords can consist of the following characters: A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, and underscore ( _ ). Make a careful note of the cluster superuser password, because without it, you cannot access the cluster.
This command allows you access in case the cluster superuser password is forgotten. If you leave this feature enabled, you should ensure adequate physical security to the cluster hardware.
You can view or change the status of this feature.
An invocation example
svctask setpwdreset -show
The resulting output
Password status: [1]
This output means that the password or reset feature that is available through the front panel menu system is enabled. If the password status is [0], this feature is disabled.
