Secure Default Password
By default, all PowerEdge servers will ship with a unique, randomly-generated iDRAC password, to provide additional security. This unique password is generated at the factory and is located on the pull-out Information Tag located on the front of the chassis, adjacent to the server asset tag. Customers who choose this option will need to note this unique random password and use it to log in to iDRAC for the first time. For security purposes, Dell EMC strongly recommends changing the default password.
Legacy Password
Customers who prefer the known legacy password “calvin” should choose this option. One reason to select this option would be to ensure conformance to current scripts. For security purposes, Dell EMC strongly recommends changing the legacy password.
Force Change Password
The “Force Change of Password” feature prompts the user to change the factory default password of the device. The Force Change Password screen appears after successful user authentication and cannot be skipped. Only after the user enters a password,normal access and operation will be allowed.
