Considerations for changing the service tools device ID passwords

 

You need to review these considerations before you reset the service tools device ID password.

You must unlock the SST option before the option is usable.

• The service tools device ID password on the PC must be the same as the service tools device ID password on the system. If you change one, you have to change the other.

• Operations Console encrypts the service tools device ID password when you click Next in the Access Password window.

• If you are creating a new local console on a network configuration (you have not connected yet) and click Cancel after the Access Password window, you can re-create the configuration with the same service tools device ID.

• Operations Console changes and re-encrypts the service tools device ID password during each successful connection.

• If you delete the local console on a network configuration after making at least one successful connection, reset the service tools device ID password on the system before you reuse the profile for a new local console on a network configuration.
