Information about the BMC Unique Password at Thomas-Krenn-Servers

Since November 2019, Supermicro has been generating a randomly generated individual password with 10 capital letters on newly delivered mainboards of the X10, X11, H11 and H12 series for security reasons. Login with the previous standard access data ADMIN/ADMIN is therefore no longer possible. This article shows where you can find the password created individually by Supermicro for Supermicro-based server systems from Thomas-Krenn.
