What's your IPMI password rotation strategy?

Ok so I run 52 boxes across 4 providers and I never changed IPMI defaults. Ever. Not once. I know I know. Used to be 67 but some got stolen by a german host that went dark. Anyway thats not the point. Point is I have 12 servers at this one colo and I just realized they still have ADMIN/ADMIN on the BMC. Been like that since 2022. Im not even sure how to bulk rotate without driving to the datacenter. What do you all do? Automate? Manual? Ignore and pray? My cost per box is like $8/GB RAM so im not trying to get these bricked.

Also yes I know im a hoarder. Its a problem. Working on it.

seedbox, NAS, tape, and three offsite
