Boot bladeswitch into flash commandline using Drac/Cli

Question

I want to reset a password on Cisco 3030 switch in a Dell 1955 Bladecenter and I'm capable of restart the switch and connect before it's booting. But when I want to sent ctrl-break using minicom or screen it doesn't pickup it seems and just boots the switch. I have tried ctrl+a -> ctrl+b on screen and minicom but I get the feeling that the switch doesn't pick it up. Locally this was no issue in the past, or am I doing something wrong ?Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi, Are you able to connect to it with a console cable directly to try it?

Hi, As I'm remote I'm not able to test that but as I tested that before that works, I just wonder why it doesn't work from Drac.
