  • 1.  storage flashsystem 7200 init tool

    Posted 05/08/23 03:09 PM

    Hello, I'm looking for how to reset a password, the manuals recommend a tool called init tool and a file called satask.exe, apparently I already found the file, but it marks it for a lenovo 3700, will it work for my purpose? Is there any other?

    on the other hand, from fix central I can't download it, it sends a "not found" error, where else can I download it?

    Thanks in advance and greetings.

    Dear Miguel
    You can reset only the superuser password, not any other user. You need a USB Stick (FAT32) with only one file placed on it.
    This file is named satask.txt. The content of the textfile is rather simple. there is only one line of text : "satask resetpassword" (without the quotation marks).
    Plug in this USB Stick and wait until the USB LED stops flashing. Then the satask.txt file should be gone an a sataskresult.html should be there.
    kind regards Martin

    Hola Martin!

    As a test, I gave it a quick try, it seems another parameter is needed according to ibm documentation 
    The complete command to write in the satask.txt should be:
    satask resetpassword -password 'new_password'

    I noticed the embedded help for this command is missing in the flashsystem. I am going to report it. Double thanks!


    Edit: It seems that depending on the Software level, the syntax of the command can change :)
