Unable to login through IPMI

[mattr]

New to me X8DTH-6F with latest BIOS and IPMI firmware. The issue exists prior to and after upgrading BIOS/Firmware.

I'm able to get to the login screen, enter user name and password and hit the login button and nothing happens. If I try to reload the page it takes 5 minutes or so to reload. I'm guessing the IMPI crashes as soon as I try to login.

Has anyone seen the same behavior?

I have other Supermicro boards and no issues with those.

Did you try ipmitool?

If you get the Windows Supermicro SMCipmitool you can do:
smcipmitool.exe <IPMI BMC IP address> ADMIN ADMIN sol activate

That will get you connected via serial over LAN.

So for example:
smcipmitool.exe 192.168.1.150 ADMIN ADMIN sol activate

That command gets me to a system I have temporarily at home that is using the default IPMI login.

If you can get that working, you can use ipmitool to configure / reset as necessary.

I got this...
SOL start failed. Please try "sol deactivate" if SOL session was occupied
So i tried deactivate and it gave me this
cannot establish connection !

I'm able to get to the login page through a browser though.

So I tried to login via SSH and got Access denied.... I'm assuming the only reason for that message would be ADMIN is not set with the default password. So that begs the question.... how do I reset it? I couldn't find anything in the IPMI or X8DTH-6F manual.

Hey funny enough... the only helpful article I found was yours @Patrick, lol.

Reset Supermicro IPMI Password to Default - Physical Access - STH

Once I reset the password I logged right in. The seller said everything had been factory reset and it looked like the configurable settings in the BIOS had been reset so I didn't think the issue would have just been the password.
