Enabled FIPS on ILO5, Now can't login

[dcotton]

I enabled FIPS on the ILO on my Gen 10 DL380 and now the logins I had previously setup in the ILO don't work so now I can't login to the ILO and can't disable FIPS again. Is there some way to set this back so I can get back into the ILO? I didn't realize that settings FIPS would lock me out of the ILO. Thanks.

Figured it out. The ILO reverts back to the factory settings when FIPS mode is enabled so you have to start over with the original Administrator user and password on the server tag.

I am experiencing this same issue after turning FIPS on on our ProLiant DL360 Gen9. The default password on the tag is not working to allow me in after turning on FIPS, but it worked for me to get in to turn FIPS on, now it does not work.
