ADDENDUM: Cannot login to service processor after password change

Hello a last time,

after resetting the password of the CMM by the hidden switch,
I experimented with different passwords and found that
!!! YOU CANNOT USE % IN ILOM PASSWORDS !!!
(Blade 8000P ILOM 1.1.5). This is an exception which is not
noted in the docs (: and , are known). So be careful.
===================
Original question:
after changing the password on a Blade 8000P service-processor,
I cannot login with the new password (Authentication failure)
anymore, neither via web page nor via ssh. The default password
is not working anymore, of course. The password has 7 letters
(Upper and lower case) and a % (percent) sign, the description
says that all letters except blank and colon are allowed.
It was typed in via an english keyboard (% over 5), with
UTF-8 as browser character encoding.
I tried also with 2 of the blade 8420 service processors,
the same problem. I'm absolutely sure the password is typed correctly,
no caps lock, no case problem. I changed the password via the ILOM web
management page. The CMM firmware is 1.1.5, Blade SP 1.1.12,
build 19265.
There has been no firmware update, all was started right out of
the delivered box and worked well until that point.

Now the big question: How do I ever get access to the CMM or the locked
blade service processors again ??? I've still 3 Blade SP processors
which I didn't change, is there a way to get to the CMM from there
(single signon was enabled on all components) ? We've not installed
any OS yet, and there's no factory OS installed, so no way to get
there via IPMI from Solaris.
