You’ve locked yourself out of the IBM Storage Manager, have you? Or perhaps you’ve gotten yourself a used unit, but have no password for it.
Telnet to both controllers IP-addresses (or use serial console via 4pin mini DIN plug in top left corner of both controllers), and type
VxWorks login: shellUsr Password: wy3oo&w4 (not shown as you enter it) -> loadDebug value = 1 = 0x1 -> setSAPassword_MT "" ReturnCode = 0x1 value = 1 = 0x1 -> unld "Debug" value = 0 = 0x0 -> exit
This removes the password, so you can configure through the DS Storage Manager without entering a password. Log on to controller B and follow the same steps.
No need to reboot, it should work immediately.
You are a Genius !!
thats very good.
thank you for your solution
Yes! Finally someone writes about no cost refi.
Hi all,
Is there any chance to run it without usign telnet?
I’m unable to connect to the array via telnet (controller is pingable)
Thanks, this post was a complete life saver, now I can manage that old RAID unit!
Over 2 years later, and still useful info!
Thanks for sharing, saved me a ton of time!
you’ve been hacked. can you re-post your instructions?
DS3512
I am using serial din connection and it goes straight to password option. No known password is working. Also can’t ping.
How to get the VxWorks login screen?
Pls let me know the working password
You could also try “infiniti” for the password

Is there any risk to lockdown the disks using this procedure?
Hi ,
Could you provide part number of serial console via 4pin mini DIN .
This worked great for us on our DCS3700 shelf system. We ran a straight-thru Cat 5e cable from the management port to the NIC on the server hosting the RAID array. Once we figured out the statically assigned IP, Telnet was used and this reset the password like a champ! You are awesome
it’s awesome code.
it took a long time to be able to get this code, and crack it alone.
thank you for sharing
