21 Chapter 6. Initial IDs and passwords Most initial passwords must be changed during the setup process; that is essential for the security of the components and the overall product. Default initial IDs and an initial password are set for the preinstalled hardware and software components, as well as the recovery account and root. Changing initial passwords During the installation engagement, Lenovo Professional Services will assist you in changing the applicable initial IDs and passwords. Important: Changing some IDs or passwords without proper planning will affect the overall configuration for the cluster. See Managing IDs and passwords for information about ID and password guidelines and procedures. Managing IDs and passwords Proper maintenance of IDs and passwords is essential for the security of the components and the overall product. Lenovo s Software Security Review Board stresses in the strongest possible terms that customers should manage all product credentials according to the recommendations stated here. Initial IDs passwords Applicable IDs and passwords will be set or changed during the Lenovo Professional Services deployment engagement. Changing passwords For the password change procedures, refer to the relevant component documentation. See ThinkAgile SXM documentation and related content on page 1. Important: Changing some IDs or passwords without proper planning(for example, the IMM on any of the System x3650 M5 servers) will affect the overall configuration for the cluster. Password criteria The following password criteria are strongly recommended by Lenovo s Software Security Review Board: No less than twenty(20) characters. Includes letters, specifically mixed case. Includes numbers. Includes punctuation. Does not include any repeated characters. It is also recommended that a random password generator be used. One example is the Norton Identity Safe Password Generator. See the following Web site: Copyright Lenovo
