Questions about changing default username or password

[Thomaiyar, Richard Marian]

For #1 --> you can inherit extrausers class and override the users 
accordingly, and the password

For #2 --> There is no direct way to update /etc/ipmi_pass, but once 
this image is flashed, login to bmc serial console, then try to execute 
passwd and update the password to the desired one (during this scenario, 
the new password is stored back in /etc/ipmi_pass). Now copy this 
/etc/ipmi_pass from your BMC to your development environment, and 
override it using bbappend.

Note: Our ultimate goal is to get rid of the default user name and 
password from the system (to whichever project it is feasible for 
security reason --

Let me know if you need any further clarifications

Regards,

Richard
