The default username is `tiny` and the default password is `tiny`. Once you are logged in, you can add an SSH key to authorized keys to connect over SSH (on the normal IP). Exit `ipmitool` with `~.` after a newline.
The BMC also has a web interface you can use if you find that easier.
## Changing the BMC password
If you try to change the BMC password over IPMI or over the web interface, you will notice that it does not persist across reboots, and the password will revert to the one displayed on the screen.
It is recommended that you change the BMC password after setting up the box, as the password on the screen is only the initial password.
If you want to change the password imperatively, remove the `/root/.bmc_password` file and then set the password, the BMC password will also no longer be displayed on the screen. Additionally, you may modify the password stored in the `/root/.bmc_password` file to one that you choose if you still want it displayed on the screen.
Reboot after making these changes.
If you do decide to change the BMC password and no longer want the initial password to be displayed, remove the `/root/.bmc_password` file.
Reboot after making these changes or restart the `displayservice.service` service.
