Hi m8, 

Could you check if you have hponcfg application installed on your system?

Please find guide below:

Download the current HPE Lights-Out XML PERL Scripting Sample for Linux and use the 'change_password.xml'  file https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_76bfa460792d4f7cbc0aac234e  This file contains a large XML library of iLO settings 

If you use the included perl script to remotely (over the network) to change the password you will need to provide a valid username / password in the LOGIN USER_LOGIN field to access iLO. 

To use locally from the host OS you need to download 'hponcfg' which is a tool from the scripting toolkit.  The standalone version of the 'hponcfg' can be found here https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_4fe891d8669c4c4fbfba2a06f4
