In this second part of my article I will be showing how to reset ILO password on Windows server. For Esxi server check my earlier article Reset HP ILO password from Esxi server. First requirement to this is install HP Lights-out online Configuration utility, which can be downloaded from below links. One utility is only commandline and follow my earlier article.

Once Utility is downloaded and installed search by name light and click HP Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility.
Once utility is started, Go to User menu tab, Select the user from list, I only have one user - Administrator. Click on View/modify button, Next check Change Passward. and type password twice to confirm, Once pressing apply will reset password. and you can check the same from ILO web page. This does not require system reboot.
This utility is just not limited to resetting ILO Password. But on the Summary page view existing ilo information, Firmware, Ip information. If ILO is not configured it can be done on network menu. Assign static IP to it, Last in the Setting, you capture ILO configuration to file or restore configuration from file. This is very handy tool and doesn't require reboot.
