On a Dell PowerProtect Data Domain appliance, what serves as the default password for the iDRAC root user account?
Dell's PowerProtect Data Domain installation and configuration documentation states that the iDRAC root account ships with a unique default password equal to the appliance's system serial number, rather than a common default like "calvin" used on older PowerEdge systems. This serial number can be read from the pull-out service tag on the front of the chassis (or the PSNT tag on the rear handle, if present), but it is the serial number value itself — not the tag or its other codes — that constitutes the password.
