Question

Where to find the BIOS default password of DIVAR IP all-in-one 7000 gen4 (DIP-74xx)?

Answer

The DIP-74xx is the first DIP model featuring a pre-set BIOS password, noted on the rear of the unit. If the sticker on the unit's rear is removed or unreadable, an additional sticker can be found inside the unit, placed on the motherboard, providing default passwords for both BIOS and BMC.

Upon logging in to the BIOS using the default password, immediate password alteration is strongly recommended. This changed BIOS must be stored in a secure location.

❗Note

ASUS does not maintain a database of default passwords per unit for data security purposes. 

If the default password is irretrievably lost, there is no way to access the BIOS.

⚠️Recovering the system to the default BIOS password

If the modified BIOS password is lost, system recovery to the default BIOS password is necessary to regain access to the BIOS. To do this, the BIOS needs to be updated, which will reset the password back to the default. See here How to update the BIOS on the DIVAR IP all-in-one 7000 4th gen (DIP-74xx)?
