Quick Reference: Oracle Exadata default passwords

It’s not needed to say how important this is to have all the password reset, even though on new Exa hardware the SSH is usually disabled. How ever, oftenly we need to have access in some of the consoles knowing the password was never changed but unaware on what it should be.

For those cases (until you change it, ASAP), here is a quick reference:

Database Server:

  • root/welcome1
  • oracle/welcome1
  • grid/welcome1
  • grub/sos1Exadata

Exadata Storage Servers:

  • root/welcome1
  • celladmin/welcome1
  • cellmonitor/welcome1

InfiniBand switches:

  • root/welcome1
  • nm2user/changeme

Ethernet switches:

  • admin/welcome1

Power distribution units (PDUs):

  • admin/welcome1
  • root/welcome1

Database server ILOMs:

  • root/welcome1

Exadata Storage Server ILOMs:

  • root/welcome1

InfiniBand ILOMs:

  • ilom-admin/ilom-admin
  • ilom-operator/ilom-operator

Keyboard, video, mouse (KVM):

  • admin/welcome1

Change them!

I hope this was useful for you.
