iLO default credentials
The iLO firmware is configured with a default user name, password, and DNS name. Default
user information is on the serial label pull tab attached to the server that contains the iLO
management processor. Use these values to access iLO remotely from a network client by using
a web browser.
User name—Administrator
Password—A random eight-character alphanumeric string
DNS name—ILOXXXXXXXXXXXX, where the Xs represent the server serial number.
IMPORTANT: Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends changing the default password after
you log in to iLO for the first time.
If you reset iLO to the factory default settings, use the default iLO account information to log in
after the reset.
