V240 Console, INFO added

It wasn't clear in my initial posting, but I don't have access to the ALOM
either. I can't seem to reset the ALOM to factory defaults or reset the admin
account password.

Have you tried enter "break" in ALOM?

I have two V240s that I cannot get a console on. Things I have tried:

1)      Remove the 3v battery, hoping to reset the ALOM.  Then use the
default, admin/SN password. No luck.

2)      Remove the video card trying to force console to Serial Mgt
Port. No
luck.

3)      Press esc during ALOM boot, but ALOM menu does not have a admin
account reset option.


When I hook up to the Serial Mgt Port and just let the ALOM login time out it
moves on to the "Enter #. to return to ALOM" but no matter what I do after
that I cannot get the ok prompt and neither system has auto-boot set to true.
The systems had KVM cables attached to the video cards but I don't have a KVM
to test that with. Hooking up a standard Monitor and USB keyboard does not
produce anything.

Why does SUN make this so difficult?  There has to be a way to force these
systems to reset, what am I missing?


Thanks
