Reset Dell R630 iDRAC Password
Hi all,
I need to reset the password for the above server, as was installed by someone else and they have forgotten it.
I will go to the customer site if required and I have found some detail in the guide below.

Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Daniel

Hello.
Boot into the system BIOS setup using F2 key during POST and go to iDRAC settings. There should be an option to change the root password. Alternatively, you may choose to reset the iDAC to factory settings using racadm racreset command. See pages 40-41 of iDRAC8 Users Guide: http://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/idrac8-with-lc-v2.05.05.05_User's%20Guide_en-us.pdf or Video link:

If you have OMSA installed, run racadm set idrac.users.2.password command
