Step 1 Open a browser.
Step 2 In the browser's address field, enter the IP address of the Cisco IMC to connect to the Cisco IMC management interface.
The IP address is based on the settings that you made (either a static address or the address assigned by your DHCP
server).
Note
The first time that you enter the Cisco IMC management interface, you are prompted to change the default password.
The default password is password, where the initial password character is zero.
Step 3 If this is the first time you have entered the Cisco IMC management interface, you must configure a strong password.
Otherwise, skip to the next step.
Follow these guidelines for a strong password:
• The password can have minimum 8 characters; maximum 20 characters.
• The password must not contain the user’s name.
• The password must not be a palindrome, which is a word that is spelled the same forwards and backwards.
• You can use consecutive or repeated characters, but they cannot exceed half the total number of characters in the
password.
