Configure after the Initial Boot

steps:

Administrator for the user name and Abcdef12 (case-sensitive) for the password.

back in again using the default system password (case-sensitive): Abcdef12.

and utilities.

similar to the one described here: “Install the Integrity Support Pack (ISP)” (page 65).
After you finish this reinstallation procedure, you should also perform the other
configuration tasks outlined in the chapter: “Installing and Configuring the Management
Tools and Service Pack 1 (SP1)” (page 65) .
• Click No if you want to do this later and continue. If you click No, it is strongly
recommended that you inspect the system and update the drivers and utilities before
bringing it online in your production environment. See “Installing and Configuring the
Management Tools and Service Pack 1 (SP1)” (page 65) for instructions on how to do
this, especially the first section describing how to install the Integrity Support Pack
using your Smart Setup media: (“Install the Integrity Support Pack (ISP)” (page 65)).
