Initial IDs and passwords

Most initial passwords must be changed during the setup process; that is essential for the security of the components and the overall product. Default initial IDs and an initial password are set for the preinstalled hardware and software components, as well as the recovery account and root.

Changing initial passwords

During the deployment engagement, Lenovo Professional Services will assist you in changing the applicable initial IDs and passwords. The Deployment Worksheet provided at the end of the deployment engagement will list the new values.

Important

Changing some IDs or passwords without proper planning (for example, the XCC on any of the ThinkAgile HX appliances) will affect the overall configuration for the cluster. See Managing IDs and passwords for information about ID and password guidelines and procedures.
