Hi all, Has anyone ever seen a BMC deny access when using the root user password? I'm trying to reconfigure this system and get the BMC working, but whenever I SSH to the BMC it won't let me login using the root user password. I get a permission denied message as if the password were wrong.
Things I have tried:
BMC setup (several times with different IP addresses) BMC reboot (several times) Changed the root user password several times using passwd. Takeover/Giveback Verified that the password is less than 16 characters. Tried "root", "naroot", and "Administrator" to log into the BMC, all failed the same way. Ran through secureadmin setup again. Tried to SSH to the BMC from different hosts, both Windows and Linux. I can SSH to the controller itself just fine using the root user / password.
Anyone have any other ideas or see something that I'm missing? The only thing I haven't done yet is power cycle the controller, and that's just because I'm not anywhere near it.
Thanks, Brad
