SUMMARY: clearing ALOM password on V210.

I asked:

Whoops. Transposing two letters gives you a completely different question.

The server in question is a V120.

The Sun infodoc only talks about the V210/240/250/440... Thats why I posted
here. There are summaries for the V210, but it doesn't work for the V120.

And also, as several people have mentioned using various solaris tools to
clear the password will work fine, and thats what we want to do -- but we
have to get past the LOM password to boot the server...

I have a V210 that I inherited from another project. It has a LOM
password set and I have no idea what it is. I have left the server
at the LOM login prompt for several minutes, hoping it would time out.
The battery appears to soldered to the motherboard, so removing the
battery doesn't look like an option. Can someone suggest other methods
to clear the LOM password? Once the server is up we can easily set it,
but we need to get past the LOM to do that...

The answer:

Sun is replacing the motherboard for us. Timeout is pretty much all you
can use on a V120, and that did not work. Thanks to all of the people
who suggested the infodoc, timeouts, and popping off the battery. I guess
Sun realized after the V120 that they needed to provide more options than
just the (faulty) timeout...
