CISCO UCS C220 CIMC PASSWORD RESET

[02ayodeji]

Hi All,

I need assistance with password reset on UCS c220 CIMC. Change was made from the default password "password" to new password "Password1" 

Hitting F8, the current password is being requested which is not working.

I will appreciate if anyone can assist me with resolving this issue without affecting the ISE application setup.

Thank you.

Hello

I don't believe there is a way to easily recover this without booting the box into a BIOS/CIMC recovery CDROM - see this discussion for details.

It might be worth guessing a few more times. Perhaps it's a keyboard issue and you are using a US keyboard while expecting a different character (e.g. SHIFT-2 produces different results) ?

Hi @02ayodeji ,

 since you were able to change the password from 'password' to 'Password1' it looks like more as a "keyboard issue" (I agree with @Arne Bier ).

 If you are not able to reset the password via the Physical Console and F8 to access the CIMC settings, then please take a look at Cisco UCS C220 M3 Server Installation and Service Guide., special attention to Service Headers and Jumpers.

Hope this helps !!!
