Hi all!

I just purchased a preowned PowerEdge R730 for which I want to perform a complete factory reset.

It seems like the previous owners has just plugged the cable out of the socket and left it to me "as-is". The server is set up with VMware ESXi 6.0 when booting and finally ends up, as expected, asking for the user id & password (which I naturally do not have). Also when entering into BIOS (pressing any of the function key alternatives) at startup the server is password protected.

So to the inevitable question from a server newbie: How to proceed next?

Thanks for any suggestions to help me out or pointing me to any previous posts describing a similar issue!
