In the following it is shown how the password of an IPMI can be reset if there is still an access to the server console. If this access is also no longer possible, this must be done directly on the server. To do this, please contact customer service (at support@ip-projects.de).
Installation
If the IPMI tool is not already installed, it can be easily installed with the following command.
apt install ipmitool
After the installation the password of the IPMI can be reset with a few steps. To do this, we first display all users to get the ID of the account, for this this command is used.
ipmitool user list
Now we see all users. Important is the ID, here from the ADMIN account, or if necessary another username, if you have changed it.
Now we can change the password of the account with the user ID, here we have to replace <user ID> with the ID of the admin, so 2, and <new password> with the new password.
ipmitool user set password <user ID> <new password>
After running, the change is still confirmed in the console. Now it is possible to log in to the IPMI again.
