i have a ucs c220 working properly, but would like to access in cimc interface and i don't have the correct user and password. what is the best way to reset that?
You will need physical access to the real KVM/crash cart, reboot the server, and hit F8 for CIMC setup during reboot/post, and can reset the password for the 'admin' user.

Guidance here is to use a crash cart KVM (or Intersight), not the serial port. I don't know about UCS generally. But APIC uses a UCS C-series chassis, and is not able to use the serial port unless explicitly configured for that.
Now with Intersight, if your server is claimed and M5+, you can launch a KVM session and press F8 upon reboot of the server. At least you save the physical trip to the DC.
