But before you can do any of that, you need to get past the login screen. And this is where many IT horror stories begin. Unlike modern iLO 5 or iLO 6 devices that force you to change the password at first boot, iLO 4 ships with a well-known, static default login : Username: Administrator Password: (blank / empty) Let me repeat that for the people in the back: The default password is nothing.
Stay secure, and happy out-of-band managing. Have you ever found an iLO 4 still on default credentials in production? Share your horror story in the comments below.
No password. Just hit Enter.
If you have ever racked and stacked an HP ProLiant Gen8 or Gen9 server, you have met iLO 4 . Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is HP’s (now HPE’s) answer to out-of-band management—allowing you to power cycle, reinstall an OS, or debug a blue screen from anywhere in the world.
