3PAR OS has moved towards the use of Strong Passwords.
the root and console users default to being configured for OTP (rolling passwords)
You can change the password method to "ciphertext" mode.
Code:
controlrecoveryauth setmethod ciphertext
Then provide HPE support with the console user hash and ask what the password is.
Code:
controlrecoveryauth ciphertext console
Ciphertext passwords are suppose to be re-generated after service activity.
however one our system has had the same passwords for 1yr+
