X10SRL-F BIOS protected

[sergi0]

Hi,
I got a X10SRL-F on eBay but upon testing it, the BIOS is password protected.
I ask the seller but he doesn't have it. I try a couple of default one, but nothing so far.
Is there a way to circumvent that or is sending it back the only solution ?
Cheers,
Serge

I would try the following
- if you can boot into an os use supermicro ipmi tools to reset ipmi to default settings & login credentials
- login in impi, apply legit oob license, try to reflash bios without keeping any settings

Thanks !
I was not able to boot into anyting (probably a configuation from the previous owner), still I use the BOOT recovery mechanism from Supermicro.
Now I am stuck again : the boot process is stoped at code 0x91 (DXE Intel Reference Code Execution). Supermicro advise a procedure (FAQ Entry | Online Support | Support - Super Micro Computer, Inc.) but that did not work...
Any hints ?
