iDRAC9 Security Configuration Guide
Changing the Default Login Password using Web Interface
The warning message that allows you to change the default password is displayed if:
- You log in to iDRAC with Configure User privilege.
- The default password warning feature is enabled.
- The default iDRAC username and password are provided on the system information tag.
A warning message is also displayed when you log in to iDRAC using SSH, Telnet, remote RACADM, or the Web interface. For Web interface, SSH, and Telnet, a single warning message is displayed for each session. For remote RACADM, the warning message is displayed for each command.
When you log in to the iDRAC web interface, if the Default Password Warning page is displayed, you can change the password.
To do this:
- Select the Change Default Password option.
- In the New Password field, enter the new password.
- In the Confirm Password field, enter the password again.
- Click Continue.
The new password is configured, and you are logged in to iDRAC.
