Changing Initial Passwords
Change the following initial user passwords:
- Initial password of the default iBMC user
- Initial password for the iBMC U-Boot
- The default iBMC user account is Administrator.
- U-Boot is a piece of underlying software used to configure basic settings, for example, initializing hardware devices and setting up memory space mapping, to prepare for commissioning the OS.
- To ensure system security, change your initial password at your first login and change the password periodically.
- A simple password is easy to crack, which makes the system vulnerable. You are advised to use a password that meets complexity requirements or to enable the password complexity check function.
- The password complexity check function is enabled by default.
