I have and it didn't work, but i'll try again. My testbench uses a VGA -> HDMI adapter that's worked on everything I've used it on. Including servers with the same AST2500 chip.

you are alone with that issue, i guess its not the board.
but its possible to get two ina row with defective vga plug,
the 15pin part used is well known to get broken if VGA cable bent up/down too much.

Ok, i'm an idiot. Plugged it into a monitor with a standard VGA cable and now it works. I swear I tried that before but I must of used the same adapter but just with a different monitor. (not sure why it has an issue on these boards but other boards with AST2500 chips work perfectly fine)
So anyone following along, if you don't get VGA output and you're using a VGA adapter.. try using a monitor with a standard VGA cable.
I also have one. When I try to by access it I get the asus rack logo login screen but no dice with the password?
I can plug in for HDD light and when I plug the power on my case they light up but then go off , But I can't get the power button or reset button working. No VGA right now I have a real vga connection , I'm kinda stuck.

if changed from default ask seller.
can be reset from efi shell but if you don't have POST you are out of luck.
just get it working, install min. RAM. plug power 4+8 pin (Adapter?)
it is asrock not asus. https not http.
we need more info. do you have 4pin -> 24pin special adapter ? RAM ? cooler ?
board outside or in chassis/case ? (short circuits by standoffs)
I have a 24 pin to 4 pin adapter I plugged in to the 4 pin next to the 8 pin and the green led light go on the board when I plug the power in.
I have one stick of ecc right now just for the test. I just send a message to the seller well see where it goes,
I have supermicro itx case . The cpu heaksink does not heat up because I 'm not turn it on other than plugging it in

you need the 4pin(+5VSB) to 24pin Adpater AND the 8pin(+12) plugged.
if all plugged press pwr.btn.
you can reset PW if you get into efi shell or dos prompt.
in BMCWebGUI is nothing more todo.
the booard should come ready to use. return it.
@RolloZ170 beat me to it while I was writing my own response
@RacerX to clarify, the 24 pin to 4 pin converter doesn't power the board. It only provides the standby power needed for the power supply to react to the power button press and power up the system.
It sounds like you don't have all 8 pins on the 8 pin socket connected? You only have 4? That 8 pin connector commonly referred to as "EPS12V", "ATX 12V 8-pin", "CPU 8-pin", or "4+4" is what actually powers the board. I don't recall the official names for these, but you get the idea. If you don't have all 8 pins engaged then your board may not (probably won't?) power up. If you don't have all 8 pins connected, your BMC may not (probably wont?) work either, even if you have the correct password. You mention that you have "two extra 4 pin" . Those ought to work, as they are probably the "4+4" type. Try to switch them around in the socket. The pin housing on the two halves aren't identical, just like the two halves of the socket itself aren't identical. They will only fit one way when you insert them both. Without all 8 of the pins connected on that socket, you have no way of knowing if the board is bad or not.
have you tried ?
user: "admin"
password: "password"
or password: "admin"
( all small letter without quotes )
you sayd admin/admin don't work. but you see asrock rack BMC login page right ?
not asus
not http
wrong connection. supermicro is not compatible with asrock.
