Reset idrac password
I recently bought a dell poweredge t320 off of facebook marketplace and it has idrac annd i have not set up the computer because i dont have a vga monitor. It is running idrac 7 and when i open the web gui it needs a login but i dont have the information. I have tried root / calvin but it does not work. If i need to buy a adapter i will but i want to see if we can fix this without any additional purchases

Restart the server and press F2->iDRAC.
If you already have installed an OS you should install "iDRAC Tool" which gives the racadm(.exe) command line tool. With that you can set a new password for the root user.

Hi,
Here's the documentation of RACADM mentioned by Joerg: https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/idrac7-8-lifecycle-controller-v2505050_reference-guide_en-us.pdf
The command should be: racadm set iDRAC.Users.2.Password <newpassword>
