reset sun blade 1000 firmware password
I tried resetting firmware password successfully on sun blade 100 ;
By removing the nvram chip and got the ok prompt
later "set-defaults" ; ""setenv security-mode none" commands succesfully
removed the firmware password on sun blade 100
But when I tried the same on sun blade 1000 ; its accepting the new "senenv security-mode none" and confirming back. while I reboot the system its again asking for the firmware password. Tried resetting jumpers; No help.
Could some of you help me in fixing this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Don't tell fairy tales ! Without the NVRAM, your setting can't be stored. If you start without the NVRAM chip, then while the system is still powered on, re-inserted the NVRAM and finally used setenv security-mode none, this might work.
The Blade 1000 has a switch that prevents operation without a closed side-panel. If you close this switch with a piece of paper, the above procedure might work too.
In case the security-mode ist just set to command and the boot-device doesn't contain the WWN, it might be possible to use a disk with a known root password and a file /reconfigure.
The only fix without risking to damage the system, is to order a new IDPROM (SEEPROM).

Fixed wrong path for reconfigure file
