   Password Recovery Steps
   The following steps list the process for recovering the root password.
   1. Obtain console access and reboot the system. Watch as the system boots, and press the Spacebar when prompted
   during the boot loader process. When the system presents a loader> prompt or an OK prompt, enter boot -s to
   boot into single-user mode:
   …TRIMMED…
   Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or space bar for command prompt.

   Type ‘?’ for a list of commands, ‘help’ for more detailed help.
   loader> boot -s
   2. The system performs a single-user boot-up process and prompts you to run the recovery script, enter a shell
   pathname, or press Enter for a default shell. Enter recovery at this point.
   …TRIMMED…
   Enter full pathname of shell or ‘recovery’ for root password recovery or RETURN for /
   bin/sh: recovery
   3. After a series of messages, the CLI starts and you are presented with an operational mode command prompt. At
   this point, you can enter configuration mode and reset the root password. Remember to commit your configuration.
   …TRIMMED…
   Starting CLI …
   root> configure
   Entering configuration mode
