iLO 2 MP Reset Button
The iLO 2 MP Reset button enables you to reset iLO 2 and reset the user-specific values to factory
default values. A momentary press causes a soft reset of iLO 2 when the button is released. A
greater than four second press causes a soft reset of iLO 2 upon release and resets local user
accounts and passwords to factory default values.
Resetting Local User Accounts and Passwords to Default Values
If iLO 2 user passwords are lost, or iLO 2 local user accounts are disabled and logging in through
LDAP directory server is unsuccessful because the directory server is down or directory settings
have not been configured properly in LDAP command, you can reset local user accounts and
passwords to their default values.
To reset local user accounts and passwords to default values:
1. Connect a serial terminal (or serial-cabled laptop with serial emulation) to the console serial
port.
2. Press and hold the iLO 2 MP Reset button for more than four seconds. iLO 2 reboots to factory
default settings automatically.
3. Respond to the prompt to reset local user accounts and passwords to default values.
