Hi everybody!!
I´m trying to load an iso in a UCS 220 M5, after I restart the server and press F6 for boot menu a password is required to continue (I can´t even see the boot menu). Does anybody know which default password is set for this option? I already tryied with "cisco123", "cisco1234", "password" and they didn´t work, or anybody knows how to reset that password??
Thank you very much!!

I have a few UCS 220 M3 in production. Never seen a password for the boot menu. So my guess is that it's a password set in the BIOS, by some local administrator.

Assuming you have tried
"Cisco12345"
"Cisco123"
"Cisco"
"password" , then see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220M5/install/C220M5/C220M5_chapter_010.html#task_z11_ncv_jz
