If the root password on the ILOM is currently unknown, but you have root access to the O/S installed, you can change the ILOM password back to the default “changeme”.
Follow below steps:
# which ipmitool
/usr/sbin/ipmitool
# /usr/sbin/ipmitool -V
ipmitool version 1.8.8
# /usr/sbin/ipmitool user set password 0×02 changeme
[or you can also use the raw format:
# /usr/sbin/ipmitool raw 0×06 0×47 0×02 0×02 0×63 0×68 0×61 0x6e 0×67 0×65 0x6d 0×65 0×00 0×00 0×00 0×00 0×00 0×00 0×00 0×00
There will be no confirmation after running the ipmitool command, however the ILOM root password will be changed to changeme.
