I know on their DRAC units it uses "root" as the user name

<div>
The guy we got it from said it was &quot;admin&quot; and it was in fact &quot;Admin&quot;. I came across that same thing after i downloaded the users manual.

I just installed a Dell 2161 DS-2 KVM switch. From the console, everything works fine. I configured it with an IP address and I installed the RCS software on my pc which is on the same subnet. When I launched the RCS software, i added the device by pointing it to the 2161's IP address. It found the device no problem. But when I try to launch either the switch through the Remote Console Switches tab or any of the visible servers on the Servers tab, it prompts me for a password and nothing seems to work. I tried all combo's of admin, blank, password, etc to no avail. Is there a special default password this uses? I couldn't find anything in the documentation. When i tried it via a browser, I get a Dell secreen and another password prompt that I can't get past. Any help would be appreciated.<br />

Thanks!

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.

Peripherals

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
