Cannot modify default IMM password (SIGSEGV signal)

ibmipmi

We cannot modify the default USERID/PASSW0RD on an IMM because when we try it modify the USERID's password with a logged in USERID user (that has the "max" rights) we get this message after clicking on "SAVE" (save the new password..)

Could not modify password: *** Provider OSBase_AccountProvider(21770) exiting due to a SIGSEGV signal

Our question: How can we modify the default password to something else?

UPDATE: by IMM we wanted to mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Remote_Supervisor_Adapter#Integrated_Management_Module_.28IMM.29

I have never used an IMM, but according to the principle that it's the same as other IPMI systems, and that in turn these are just linux, you've encountered a bug. Software should not raise SIGSEGV in general; it usually indicates a memory corruption bug. Update your IMM software (might be called firmware in this case) or call support.
