I got a v215 but the login credentials are unknown. I plug the serial management RS232-RJ45 and get the output on the terminal. I reseted NVRAM and battery but I can't use the default login still. After these operations the output from boot is as such ;

I am not sure if an OS is installed or not but I do have the media. Is it possible to boot the disc without accessing the ALOM ? It is possible to remove this passwd if I am capable of doing that.
Does taking out the battery and waiting for some time (results in time/date reset) resets the ALOM ? I tried chassis serial (Sys S/N) doesn't work either.
I unplugged both power cords and then plugged them again. Pushed Esc at boot and tried to Reset SC but it still keeps on asking login prompt :

re: serial number -- you did get the serial number from the chassis or where?
Edit:
It looks to me like the box failed to post - that means a hardware error. Do you have support from Oracle?
Assuming that the hardware is not faulty (which is a possibility) I think we need to try and get a 'ok' prompt in order to install Solaris 10.
So try this.....
Power up the machine from cold (no power) and don't touch it at all. Let the ALOM boot and when the menu appears don't touch anything. Many a ALOM firmware will drop to a 'ok' prompt after a timeout if you don't touch anything. After five minutes try hitting 'return' and/or entering CTRL-Q in case the console is x-off'd.
After the menu is displayed trying keying CTRL-Fn-F12
Do you get any response. Cold power up a few times and enter that keystroke at various different stages of boot.
If we can install Solaris you can use 'scadm' with the OS running to configure the ALOM. I'm beginning to think that you won't achieve it any other way.
If you do manage to get to a 'ok' prompt try the command 'boot' first in case there's already an installed OS on the system.
The older V series machines don't have a default service processor password or login. You need to install Solaris using the serial port of the server and NOT the service processor. After you have Solaris running, you can configure the ALOM with the scadm utility, which is for all administration of the ALOM.
I just checked the internal documents... There is a "kind of default" login when you connect for the first time.
The login should be admin and the last 8 digits of you SN# should be the password. I've never tried that... For more information use the Oracle support website and search for Doc ID 1005438.1
