Creating a BMC User Password

You must assign a valid LAN user name and password before you can connect
to your system's Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) using the BMC
Management Utility. There are two methods of creating a LAN user name
and password:
• If you access the BMC Remote Access Utility by pressing <CTRL+E>
during system startup, you can create a LAN user name, and a password
with up to 16 characters. (Note that only one LAN user name and
associated password can be created using this utility.) For information
on this option, see "Baseboard Management Controller Configuration" in
your Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management Controller Utilities User's
Guide.
• If you use the Deployment Toolkit SYSCFG.EXE utility, you can create a
LAN user name, and a password of up to 20 characters using the syscfg
passwordaction command. For more information, see "Configuring
New BMC Users" in the BMC User's Guide.
