Since flexAI version 2023-12r1 some features of the Open Source Project Cockpit:

https://cockpit-project.org/

have been introduced. It provides a comprehensive system to manage the underlaying OS by a graphical user interface. flexAI employs it for user management but also to provide detailed information about the built in storage capacity as well as offering a terminal dricetly from the UI.

When connecting to a flexAI device by a browser you must log in to it. A Sign In po-up appears:

Figure 1 - Sign In pop-up

The default credentials are User name: "admin" and Password: "admin".

After signing in, the initial page of the UI appears and the overall status of the system enters the ERROR sate. Clicking on the System Status icon in the upper right corner (A) :

Figure 3 - Error Status message

It says that the password for the user admin is not set so you should do it as the very next step!

Figure 4 - User Accounts pane

Cockpit shows all users of the system on this page. For the moment, only user admin (B) is relevant.

Click on the <Users> button (A) in the navigation bar at the left side:

For now only the password for the user admin (B) can be changed via the Users pane:

The other users are simply presented here FYI. They are generic system users meant for service and development applications and will used in a wider security concept by your IT team.

If you have forgotten your admin password you may reset it on the AIXpressor via the front panel menu. For a flexAIserver you must use the server adminstration tool (iDRAC for DELL) or you connect via SSH and start the system-menu as sudo.
