Default Password — Fujitsu Irmc

If default credentials remain active, attackers with network access to the iRMC interface (typically ports 443, 22, 623, 5900) can:

Q: Does every Fujitsu server model have the same default password? A: Yes, almost all Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers (RX, TX, CX, BX series) use admin / admin. No model-specific differences are known.

Q: Can I recover the iRMC password without physical access? A: Not if the default has been changed and you don’t have another admin account. Physical access (or remote KVM if already configured) is required to clear the settings.

Q: Is there a backdoor or master password for Fujitsu iRMC? A: No. Urban legend aside, Fujitsu has no public backdoor. If you lose the password, follow the recovery steps in Part 6.

Q: My iRMC login says "Account locked". What now? A: iRMC locks an account after 3–5 failed attempts for 15 minutes. Wait or reset via physical jumper.

Q: Does iRMC S5 still use admin/admin? A: Yes, as of 2025 firmware releases, the factory default remains admin / admin. Fujitsu relies on administrators to change it during deployment.

The default login credentials for the Fujitsu Integrated Remote Management Controller (iRMC) are as follows: How to Reset the Password

How to reset iRMC admin password on Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers

Fujitsu Integrated Remote Management Controller (iRMC) provides out-of-band management for PRIMERGY and PRIMEQUEST servers. Access to this interface is secured by credentials that have evolved from static defaults to unique, server-specific identifiers. Default Credentials by Generation

The default username for nearly all Fujitsu iRMC generations is admin. However, the password varies significantly depending on the age of the hardware:

Legacy Systems (iRMC S2, S3, S4): Older systems often shipped with the static default password admin.

Modern Systems (iRMC S5, S6): Current servers use unique passwords to comply with modern security standards. Locating Unique Default Passwords

For modern servers, the unique password can be found in two physical locations:

System ID Card: A pull-out plastic tag on the front of the server containing a barcode and a password typically prefixed with "Admin-" followed by 12 characters (e.g., Admin-4CkNxNZqWoOK). If default credentials remain active, attackers with network

Chassis Label: On smaller servers where a card is not present, a label is attached to the top cover.

💡 Key Note: The entire string, including the "Admin-" prefix, constitutes the password. It is strictly case-sensitive. Resetting or Changing the Password

If the default password fails or has been forgotten, you can reset it through several methods. Organizations can also refer to the Fujitsu PRIMERGY Security Overview for broader server hardening strategies. Using IPMITool (Local OS Access)

If you have access to the server's operating system (Linux or Windows), use the ipmitool utility to reset the admin password directly. Command: ipmitool user set password 2 .

User ID 2: This is the default ID for the "admin" user on Fujitsu hardware. Using ServerView Installation Manager (SVIM)

If the OS is unreachable, boot from the ServerView Installation Manager ISO. Open an x-term window and execute the same ipmitool command to regain access. Guidance for this and other tools is available through Fujitsu Support Downloads. Password Complexity Requirements

Starting with iRMC S6, new passwords must meet strict criteria: Minimum length of 12 characters.

Must include at least three of the following: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits, or special characters. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Character Confusion: Characters like capital "I" and lowercase "l" can look identical. Fujitsu recommends using a smartphone to scan the barcode on the ID card to retrieve the exact string. allowing for remote management

"Unknown Error" at Login: On iRMC S6 (firmware 2.06S and lower), entering incorrect credentials may trigger a generic "Unknown Error" instead of a "Login Failed" message.

Manual Recovery: If you are using specialized hardware like the HyperScale appliance, you can find specific recovery steps on the Commvault Community. Peer-led technical discussions on Experts Exchange also provide legacy server support.

The Fujitsu integrated Remote Management Controller (iRMC) is a critical component for system administrators, allowing for remote management, monitoring, and maintenance of Fujitsu PRIMERGY and PRIMEQUEST servers. Whether you are installing a new server or troubleshooting a legacy system, knowing how to access the iRMC is essential.

This article covers the default credentials, how to find them if defaults fail, and best practices for securing your server management interface.

Q: Is the default password the same for all Fujitsu Primergy servers? A: Yes, for the vast majority including RX1330, RX2540, RX4770, TX1320, CX400, and newer M5/M6 models. The default is admin/admin.

Q: What about Fujitsu server appliances (e.g., ETERNUS)? A: ETERNUS storage systems use different defaults. Typically root / fujitsu or maintenance / fujitsu. Check the appliance manual.

Q: Can I use SSH with the default password? A: Yes, SSH is often enabled by default. Use ssh admin@<iRMC-IP> with password admin.

Q: Is there a default password for the iRMC serial console? A: Yes, the serial console uses the same local user database. Default = admin/admin.

Q: Does Fujitsu require me to change the default password on first login? A: Unlike some competitors (like HPE iLO), Fujitsu iRMC does not force a password change on first login. You must do this manually. This is a known security criticism.
