I’ve recently had a problem on some new servers where a BIOS Admin Password had been set by accident, HPE provide this as a solution on their forums: https:\/\/community.hpe.com\/t5\/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl\/how-do-i-disable-the-bios-admin-password-on-a-gen10-dl360\/m-p\/7166755#M178013<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However the Gen10Plus (+) servers appear to be a bit different, upon entering the forward slash “\/” on the end of the password to remove it, you get a warning saying “\/” is an invalid character and the process does not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead the process was much more simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. When you get into the System Utilities menu (Boot –> F9 –> System Utilities –> System Configuration –> BIOS Platform Configuration (RBSU) –> Server Security), you have to click in the Set Admin Password box and press ENTER to input a password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Enter your current password, then to clear\/delete\/remove the existing password, just hit ENTER, i.e. leave the box blank. You’ll be informed the password has been changed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Save and exit, reboot, now the next time you try to get into the RBSU you’ll not see the password prompt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
