i have a ucs c220 working properly, but would like to access in cimc interface and i don't have the correct user and password. what is the best way to reset that?

You will need physical access to the real KVM/crash cart,  reboot the server, and hit F8 for CIMC setup during reboot/post, and can reset the password for the 'admin' user.

how do you connect the serial connection? I put rj45 in the I/O and the other end to my laptop. Tried all the COM ports nothing worked.

Now with Intersight, if your server is claimed and M5+, you can launch a KVM session and press F8 upon reboot of the server. At least you save the physical trip to the DC.
