Forgot Password Dell's IDRAC Password.
Dear Dell Team Support.
I have IDRAC but forgot the password.
Is it possible to change the password without reset IDRAC Network Configuration for remote access?
I worry if I change the IDRAC Password from Dell's BIOS effect to IDRAC's Network Configuration.
Thank you.
Regards,
Samuel.

Samuel78,
The first thing I would do is see if the default still works, the default username and password are root and calvin. I would start there, and if that doesn't work then (depending on server model) you can boot to the BIOS (F2) - iDrac Settings- User Configuration.
Let me know if this helps.

If you have access to the OS and root/administrator rights you can reset the "root" password of the iDRAC within 20sec. without a reboot or other kind of downtime.
Install iDRAC tools or simple copy the racadm.exe and the one *.dll from another system and than open a shell as root/administrator and type in:
A iDRAC support up to 16 local users and the slot for the "root" is always within slot 2.
The racadm also exists for vSphere ESXi.
