power cycle and some familiarity with U-boot.

2. Reboot the blade:
# reboot
3. Stop the normal boot sequence; enter the U-boot menu.
(see section 3.6.1)
4. Type the following series of U-boot comm
ands:
uboot=> setenv resetroot 1
uboot=> run flashboot
The above commands will continue the boot sequence and trigger the blades Linux
file system to clear the root password. No other passwords are cleared. Do not use
saveenv after setting resetroot, otherwise the root password will be reset on every
re-boot.
