    @Impendingfate1992 

    A todays ordered PowerEdge server offered "legacy" or "random" password option.

    Your old R730 most likely have a changed password from the previous owner. So two options:

    1. Reboot the server and enter the iDrac to change the password
    2. If a OS is like Windows or Linux is installed and you have admin right you can install and use "racadm.exe" from the iDRAC Tools package to modfiy every iDrac setting including the passwords trough the OS. You dont need to know the existing password. Notice: racadm can be disable within the iDRAC and than this option cant be used
