IPMI password not in docs, seller ghosted me

1. Bought used Supermicro X10 from some ebay type place
2. Docs say "default IPMI password admin/admin"
3. Not working, seller not responding to messages
4. BMC is locked with custom password

  • Tried the usual defaults ADMIN/ADMIN too
  • No luck

Anyone dealt with this? It's a X10DRi board if that helps. Don't want to brick it but also don't want a paperweight.

Hey folks, gonna be real with you - been there

Jumper reset is your friend. JPB1 on that board, pins 2-3 for like 10 seconds while powered off. Super stoked when I first learned this.

I messed it up once though left it on 1-2, wondered why nothing changed. Admit my mistake, fixed it fast. You got this.

It is suggested that value-added redistribution channels within the partner ecosystem may have been leveraged to facilitate this acquisition. Synergy between buyer and seller appears to have degraded post-transaction.

It is recommended that physical access be utilized to restore administrative functionality. The BMC password may be reset via motherboard jumper, and this approach has been successfully leveraged by multiple stakeholders within the partner ecosystem to achieve synergy with previously inaccessible infrastructure.

We typically handle BMC lockouts by documenting the jumper location before any hardware changes. On the X10 series, you'll find JPB1 near the SATA ports.

Power down completely, bridge pins 2-3 for ten seconds, then restore to 1-2. We have seen units require a full AC disconnect rather than just soft power off.

¿why not¡ try the jumper is the solution good

The IPMI is locked but server good still

How much cost the new motherboard if is bricked? No inversion in price I hope

The Supermicro is strong usually

JPB1 worked on my X10 too, pins 2-3 then back

Which X10DRi variant, the -F or -T?

Jumper reset while powered off? Thought it needed standby
