Default How to reset firmware pwd on AXi

Hello,

I got a sparc compatible with AXi board build by transtec and I don't
know the firmware password.
Is there a way to reset it?

Thanks,
Mike

The way it's usually done is by installing a disk with an OS for which
you know the root password, and then using the EEPROM command to reset
it.

Or, you could replace the chip that holds the password.
