You will have to shut down Domino and remove the Server_Console_Password notes.ini parameter

If the issue is that the server ID file has a password, than you must remove the password from the ID file:

If the Password Quality for the server.id in question was set any higher than 0, then the "No Password" button will not appear. If this is found to be the case, you will have to recertify the server.id, specifying a Password Quality of 0. After doing so the "No Password" button will appear and the above instructions can be followed as directed.

Thanks for the replies.  I checked for the Server_Console_Password item in the notes.ini and found it isn't listed there.

I do have a minimum password length.  Since this is not a user account, I guess I don't follow where the password can be removed...  do you mean using the domino administrator UI??

I believe the issue is with the ID file having the password on it (should have been paying more attention when creating it) and that's requiring me to enter a password to access the console.  I'm guessing by re-certifying the server.id file, this should be as straight forward as certifying the server the first time around.  Yes?

The link in the previous reply worked as advertised... thanks very much
