How to reset the SP (eLOM) password?

My server is sitting in a data center across the country. For some
reason I can no longer log into the WebGUI or SSH into either our
X2100 M2 or X2200 M2 using the root account.

I had the local admin go into the BIOS and followed the instructions
on how to reset the password to the default "changeme" but it doesn't
work either.

The systems are back up and running and I can access information
through IPMI, but I still can't login to the eLOM SP through the GUI
or through the SSH interface. It says account or password incorrect.
Any idea on how to get the password reset? Can I use IPMI or is there
another method I can have the on-site admin try?

Using IPMI I was able to list the accounts via:

[root@srvr1 ~]# ipmitool user list 1
ID Name Callin Link Auth IPMI Msg Channel Priv Limit
1 true true true ADMINISTRATOR
4 false true true NO ACCESS
5 ???????????????? false true true NO ACCESS
6 ???????????????? false true true NO ACCESS

are you explicitly ssh'ing in as root?

ssh -l root destination-name

Yes, tried it both ways...

ssh -l root <ip>
&
ssh root@<ip>
