Reset the ILOM Root Account Password (changeme)

After establishing network connectivity to the Chassis Monitoring Module (CMM) and Sun Blade Server Modules (blades), you should reset the ILOM root account password (changeme) to prevent unauthorized access to the system.

To reset the changeme password, follow these steps:

  1. Access ILOM at the chassis level by typing in a web brower the IP address for the CMM.

    The ILOM login page appears.

  2. In the ILOM Login page, do the following:

    1. Type the username (root) and password (changeme).

    2. Click Log in.

      The ILOM web interface appears.

  3. In the ILOM web interface, do the following:

    • To change the preconfigured Administrator password at the chassis level, click the CMM in the left navigation pane, then proceed to Step 4.

    • To change the preconfigured Administrator password at the blade level, click the appropriate blade in the left navigation pane, then proceed to Step 4.

      The tabbed pages for the CMM or blade appear at the top of the right pane in the ILOM user interface.

  4. In the ILOM user interface, click the tabs: User Management -> User Accounts.

    The User Accounts page appears.

  5. In the User Accounts page, select the radio button for root then click Edit.

    A security message appears. Click OK to continue and the User Account dialog box appears.

  6. In the User Account dialog box, do the following:

    1. Select the box for Change.

    2. In the Password text box, type the new password.

    3. In the Confirm Password text box, type the new password again.

    4. Click Save.

      The new password identified in Step 6b and Step 6c is activated for the root Administrator account.

  7. If necessary, repeat Step 2 through Step 6d to reset the password (changeme) on each CMM and blade installed in the system chassis.
