ME5012 default password / reset
We recently purchased a ME5012, racked, cabled and powered it up.
When we attempt to access the controller both over https and serial the default user/pass is not accepted.
Does anyone know what the password reset process is, or is there a different default user/pass for the ME5012 series.
I've searched for any information and have not been able to find anything relating to the ME5012.
No Events found!

ITGrunt,
You can find the steps for the initial configuration and setting of the username and password in section 6 here, and are laid out below.
If DHCP is not enabled on the management network, temporarily set the IP address of the management host to a 10.0.0.x address to allow communication with the storage system.
If DHCP is enabled on the management network, connect a computer to the USB CLI port on controller module A and run the CLI command show controllers to determine the management IP address of controller module A.
NOTE: HTTPS must be used to access the storage system during deployment.
NOTE: Do not turn on more than one unconfigured controller enclosure at a time to avoid IP conflicts.
In a web browser:
1. Open a web browser.
2. If DHCP is not enabled on the management network, type https://dell.to/3trBWL8 and press Enter to access the configuration wizard.
If DHCP is enabled on the management network, type the IP address of controller module A and press Enter to access the configuration wizard.
3. Click Get Started.
4. Set a new username and password to manage the storage system, and then click
Apply and Continue.
5. Perform the following steps on the System Configuration Main Page to configure
the storage system:
• System Configuration
• SupportAssist Configuration
• Storage Configuration
• Provisioning
Let me know if this helps.
