Hey guys,
I got something weird while trying to setup IPMI on a Supermicro board. The settings are not accessible in the BIOS (see picture) and I had to use EFI Shell and IPMICFG to manually setup an IP.
I've tried upgrading to the latest version of the BIOS and IPMI firmware but no luck there...

Am I missing something ?

Thanks

Does the bios have an admin password set? I think it locks/unlocks certain settings.

Oh yes, it has. Never though about that !
Is there a way to unlock those settigns or is it just not working when a password is set ?
Thanks !

So quick update. I was using a "user" password to login which makes some settings impossible to edit.
I've disabled the "user" password but nobody knows the "Administrator" password...

So I guess we will have to reset the whole thing...

What's weird is that the settings are protected when you try to login into the BIOS with a user password but you can use the EFI shell with the same login to set the IPMI using the tool IPMICFG...
