Modifying User Accounts and Default Password The iLO 3 MP comes preconfigured with default factory settings, including a default user account and password. The two default user accounts at initial login are as follows: • All Rights (Administrator) level user: login = Administrator password = Randomly generated password found on the iLO Network Information Tag on the server IMPORTANT: For security reasons, HP strongly recommends that you modify the default settings during the initial login session. Make the following changes using any of the iLO 3 MP user interfaces. To modify default account configuration settings, follow these steps: 1. Log in as the administrator.

Setting Up Security For greater security and reliability, HP recommends that iLO 3 MP management traffic be on a separate dedicated management network and that only administrators be granted access to that network. This not only improves performance by reducing traffic load across the main network, it also acts as the first line of defense against security attacks. A separate network enables administrators to physically control which workstations are connected to the network. HP also strongly recommends that you modify the default settings during the initial login session and determine the security access required and what user accounts and privileges are needed. Create local accounts or use directory services to control user access. See "Modifying User Accounts and Default Password" (page 52). 52 Installing the server
