IBM BMC

For the sake of every IBM administrator’s sanity, and for the benifit of google:

The default password used by the BMC ( Baseboard management Controller ) for the eServer xSeries 336 3387 is as follows

username: USERID (all uppercase)
password: PASSW0RD (with a zero, and all uppercase)

IBM’s website seach is again useless to find this information, try this string:
http://www.ibm.com/search/?en=utf&v=14&lang=en&cc=us&lv=c&q=BMC+%22default+password%22

It seems to be unable to actually do a simple AND of the 2 words.

Anyhow. Google finally found:

It continues to amaze me that after so long IBM's own web site is still impossible at locating information. The most frustrating part being we KNOW the information is there somewhere.
