It's a bit confusing.  All you need is the following in dsm.sys:

passwordaccesss generate
mailprog /usr/ucb/Mail root

Use your own favorite email binary that accepts subjects and your favorite
person to receive email with notification of the new password.  Run
something like dsmc and change the password for your client.  This should
save the new password to some file like /etc/adsm or something like that.
You did not mention the client you were using so this will vary a little
bit.

If you have a dsm.opt, placing the "nodename" paramter in that file will
cause ADSM to think you are trying to do something againt another client
(i.e., cross-client recovery).  Even if the nodename is the same as the
one you are on, ADSM will ask for a password regardless.
