Hi,

I got a DEC alpha LX164. When I was trying to boot from the 2005.1 boot CD from SRM, using ">>> boot dqa0", I got an error message saying something like a secure console does not allow boot with parameters. I tried to bypass the bios password without success, apparently the password was set by SRM. Is there any way to bypass this or clear the SRM password?

Thanks,
oboezw

http://www.alphalinux.org/archives/axp-list/April2001/0031.shtml should be helpful. The LX164 Technical Reference is available at ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/software/alpha-tools/documentation/current/pc164lx/ec-r46wc-te_164lx_trm.pdf.

Thanks for the reply. I saw this post, and tried to boot the machine with a jumper on J22 (halt), and it did not solve the problem. Every time it still says "Console is secure, please login". And God knows the password! I didn't specifically set a password any time, the whole thing happend after I was trying to upgrade to 2005.0 from 2004.1
