    Hi,
    We have a HMC V7 R3.3.0 whose default hscroot password is not working ( somebody changed ).I want to recover that password.

    Please need an urgent attention in this respect.

    Looking forward for quick solutions.

    Thanks.

    I can only think of a couple of ways you could do this potentially, although I have not tried any of them.

    1. boot from a normal Linux CD and recover passwords as per standard UNIX by editing files.

    2. If you know the hscpe password then you could open a call with IBM to get pesh password and use root user to reset hscroot password
    3. re-install HMC from recovery media
