reboot the system, and before the OS loads, you will be prompted to do a Cntrl_E to enter the drac menu. in the menu, there will be an option to reset the drac to defaults, this will reset everything back to factory.
In the Ctrl+E menu (DELL IPMI) you are meaning i have an option called "reset to factory defaults", but it seems the reset has no effect for the DRAC4 card.
The login into the DRAC4 webinterface did't work.
I have a Ctrl + D promt to enter the DRAC4 configruation interface directly, but there i can just set the ip address and other network configs. In that menu is not an option to reset the card.
If it is important to know: it's a Dell Remote Access Controller 4/I
You need to run RACADM RACRESETCFG at at command prompt. Then set your IP information again (after reset is done - up to 10 minutes) with RACADM SETNICCFG -S IPADDRESS SUBNET GATEWAY.
What OS are you running? Most Windows can open a Command Prompt by browsing to Start, All Programs, Accessories ... or typing CMD at the Run... or Search... boxes. RACADM will do nothing though without OMSA installed.
