Resolution
NOTE: The previous username and password does not need to be known for this process to work.
- Log in to the Security Analytics appliance command line interface as root.
- Run this to see the current list of all users:
ipmitool user list 1
- To reset the password for user 2 (which is typically the admin account) run:
ipmitool user set password 2 <new_password>
You can also use racadm to reset the password and perform other configuration tasks. See the following article for details:
