If you don't know the password, the only way the command will work is if it IS installed locally. You can also run these commands from the DTK environment while booting the SBUU CD on the baremetal machine. But that requires assistance from someone onsite if you don't have the password to the DRAC so that you can remote mount the media.
Looks like you have a "chicken and egg" problem.
If I'm still totally off base, please clarify .. you know the existing password on the DRAC, or not ?

You can also run the command without specifying an addresses. In that case it will execute against the DRAC that is in the machine from which the command is run.
For example, if you have a 2950 with Windows 2003 Server and OMSA installed ... when you execute "racadm racresetcfg" it will run against that 2950.
So if the OS is still up and you can RDP into that 2950, you can run the command locally and reset the config, set the IP address, etc.
Make sense ?

1. Log in into the iDRAC.
2. Under iDRAC Settings, go to User Authentication.
3. Click the User ID number of the root account.
4. The Configure User radio button should already be checked, Click NEXT.
5. Enable the Change Password checkbox
6. Enter the new password in the fields for New Password & Confirm New Password. Click Apply.
7. Logout & back into the iDRAC to verify the change.
