User ID to change
Select the user ID of the user whose password you wish to change. Choices you can make
are general, admin, or HMC.
Current password for current user
As a security measure, the current password must be supplied. The initial factory default
passwords are set to:
򐂰 general for the User ID general
򐂰 admin for the User ID admin
򐂰 abc123 for the HMC user ID of hscroot (may have been changed during HMC guided
setup).
New password for user
Enter the new password for the user whose password you wish to change. Passwords can be
any combination of up to 64 alphanumeric characters.
New password again
Enter the new password for the user again for verification.
Click the Continue button to make the password change.
Retrieve login audits
Using this menu option you can display an audit log of both the successful ASMI logins to
your system as well as the failed login attempts. An example of the successful login audit log
is shown in Figure 10-94. An example of the failed login audit log is shown in Figure 10-95.
You will see up to the last 20 successful logins and up to the last 20 failed login attempts. You
can only display the information, you cannot change or delete the information. You may see
User IDs of dev and celogin which are special User IDs available to authorized service
personnel only. As a user you cannot use or change these User IDs. They are highly secure
due to the fact that the service processor uses a function to regenerate and change the
passwords on a daily basis and only the IBM authorized service personnel can have access
to and use these special passwords.
In the unsuccessful login audit log you may also see an entry of
unknown. This occurs when
an attempt is made to login with any other User ID other than the ones supplied by IBM that
have been described in this section and the Change password section.
