Changing default login password

The warning message that allows you to change the default password is displayed if:

● You log in to iDRAC with Configure User privilege.

● Default password warning feature is enabled.

● Credentials for any currently enabled account are root/calvin.

● Force Change of Password (FCP) is enabled.

NOTE: When the FCP attribute is enabled, you will have to change the default password. Then you will be authenticated

and allowed to access the iDRAC in the usual manner.

A warning message is also displayed when you log in to iDRAC using SSH, Telnet, remote RACADM, or the Web interface. For

Web interface, SSH, and Telnet, a single warning message is displayed for each session. For remote RACADM, the warning

message is displayed for each command.
