Took in an older SC8000 on trade. Provided user/pass will not allow us access to the system. I've looked a bit and don't find much in terms of documentation for recovery or reset of admin credentials and have also read references to needing a USB recovery key from Dell support.
If anyone is able to confirm, deny or help that would be much appreciated. Thanks!
If you are trying to reset the Dell Storage Manager Client administrator password, can you let me know what was the steps that you have taken to create the USB. What is the USB size? What USB format partition?

ng 111 secs for disks... Missing disks (13, 12, 2). All essential disks are missing, rebooting in 110 seconds unless disks are found. Waiting 110 secs for disks... Waiting 109 secs for disks... Waiting 108 secs for disks... Waiting 107 secs for disks... Waiting 106 secs for disks...
It looks like there are missing disk detected by the storage. The storage will not fully initialize. Are you using Compellent certified disk? Can you provide a picture of the disk used in slot 2,12 and 13. Can you check if all the drive's LED activity indicator are all lit green?
The command you entered System Purge will require the storage to fully initialize.
If that does not work you would need to call into Support and work with an engineer that can do a remote session with you. If you do not have an active warranty you can ask about a Post Standard Support contract for support.

Hi,
Could you elaborate more about what admin password that you need to recover? Are you referring to Dell Storage Manager Client administrator password?
