in the case of forgetting your bmc passwords you can follow this to reset your bmc password 
we are using linux ubuntu budgie live for resetting password due to its small size resource  requirement 
you can use any live linux distros you like 
Get ubuntu budgie 24 here
download and install to bootable usb stick and plug in to the system you want to reset bmc passwords in our case we are using mb  B8016G40V4 but it will work with other tyan/Mitac default bmc chip boot off usb live environment 
once booted up in the live environment open linux terminal


the first thing is to install ipmitool 
1. sudo apt install ipmitool -y
2. test the command 
sudo ipmitool sdr list (this will print the mb working sensors must be run in sudo mode)
3. reset bmc command(backup your setting prior issuing the command if anything wants to be kept )
sudo ipmitool raw 0x32 0x66
when issued you might hear your mb system fans ramping up indicating the bmc is resetting to default values
4. power down the system and remove power source for 5min restart your system
now you should able to login your system using 
user: root   password: superuser 
once logon successfully you will be prompted to setup new password
write down/remember  your new password 
Thank you
