This page lists 10 confirmed default credentials for Vertiv equipment, covering 10 models. The pairing you are most likely to need is admin with a password you set at first login.
Entries are reachable over multi, https and http. 2 of these entries use a protocol that sends the password in clear text, so use them on a trusted network and change the password once you are in.

About Vertiv
The Vertiv records here run across the Liebert, RPC- and Avocent lines. The entries are logged as rack power distribution units, uninterruptible power supplies and KVM switches and serial consoles. They cover more than one level of access — admin, user and read-only.
Reaching the login page
Point a browser at whatever your computer reports as its default gateway. On Windows that is the Default Gateway line from ipconfig; on macOS, Network settings shows it under the active connection.
What the Vertiv defaults look like
admin is the username on 2 of the 10 entries. One entry asks for no username at all. One model shipped with no password at all.
On 2 entries there is no factory password; it is set when the device is first set up. There are 7 different passwords across the Vertiv set, so check your exact model rather than assuming. 2 of them are reached over a protocol that puts the password on the wire in clear text, so work from a machine on the same wired network rather than across the internet, and change the password once you are in.
If the Vertiv password has already been changed
There is a recessed reset button on the back or underneath that needs a straightened paperclip. Hold it in for thirty seconds with the unit powered on. Let go when the lights change pattern, and give it a couple of minutes to come back up.
A reset clears more than the password. The Wi-Fi name and key go back to what is printed on the label, port forwards and firewall rules are discarded, and any static addressing is lost. Photograph the settings pages first — it takes two minutes and saves an evening.
