PowerEdge 310, no password access

I have been gifted a Dell PowerEdge 310 server and several keyboards, mouse, screen. The gift was given when helping with a weekend house move. I was asked about a computer and replied yes. Expected a floor tower, yet I was assured what I given would work. I can't get past 2 user and 1 admin passwords. No software.

    Hello Dallas540i,

     

    Can you clarify which server you have: T310 or R310

     

    You might start with Clear NVRAM - there is a map under the lid to show the jumper location. Shut down,  Set jumper to the Clear position, power on and Post up to the jumper error, shut down and return jumper to original location.

     

    I cannot help with passwords but the owner's manual does have Disabling a Forgotten Password section.

     

    I would recommend bookmark these resources for the model you have:
