Reset irpmi password on mini with scale

you used to be able to do this directly from the webgui in core/enterprise…but i cannot find this in scale anywhere…is it possible?

Network screen

so set the new password and hit save…it did it’s thing and then i tried the new password and it still rejected it…i even used the browser in private mode.

Username is case sensitive in Supermicro BMC - are you logging in with ADMIN in allcaps?

tried it…no dice. any other ways to reset the ipmi password if the webgui is not working?

You can use ipmicfg. ServeTheHome made a guide about it:

Working link to ipmicfg:

From a web or SSH shell, elevate yourself to root and run ipmitool user list which will give you the ID listing. Find the ID for ADMIN, and then use ipmitool user set password ID plaintextpassword
