Troubleshooting


Problem

This document describes how to change an ASM (Advanced System Management) password on a FSP-based System.

Resolving The Problem

From the Advanced System Management (ASM) login screen, type the user ID and password, and click the Log in button or press the Enter key.

Note: Ensure the desired system is selected.

Expand Login Profile, select Change Password, and then select the User ID you want to change.

Note: The Current password field indicates the user signed into ASM (not necessarily the User ID being changed).

ASM screen showing left navigation panel with Login Profile category expanded and the option to Change Password indented underneath it.  The right hand pane shows the Change Password screen with a pull down list for which User ID to change.

Note: If the admin password is lost, contact your hardware service provider.  See the following document for information about ASM authority levels - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/power9?topic=asmi-authority-levels
