iDrac740 With Secure password

Question

Hi I have an R740 installed in my Customers location. Is is running vmware and idrac 9. It was purchased with the Secure Password for iDracWhen on site to install I hit F2 and configured the network config saved and exited.I can browse to the ip and I get the iDrac login. What should the username be when using the special password on the bottom of the server tab? I leave it blank can't login, I use root, can't login, I use default, can't login.Documentation is vague as to what the username should be. Help, I really don't want to go back onsite.

The username should still be root, https://dell.to/2P9RgaW

“The Secure Password will be located on a sticker on the underside of the system tag with the Service Tag information. If the default password on the sticker is blank, it means that the default password is "calvin". "root" remains the username.”

Thanks, I had not done the initial hardware stand up and it looks like someone else set it to a new password. On site visit it must be.
