DRAC default password
What is the default user ID and password to access a DRAC through the Remote Assistant application?
The default "root" and "calvin" worked to configure the card, but don't when trying to remote the DRAC.

Download: http://ftp.us.dell.com/sysman/MgmtStat-WIN-4.5_A00.exe
Extract the file and double-click on the setup.exe file in the windows directory. It will perform a pre-requisite check. Some items may fail the check, just ignore and choose to continue. Choose a customer installation and select the RAC Management Station. Make sure all other items are de-selectd and choose next. After the installation is complete you can bring up a command prompt from your XP notebook and use the RACADM command to change the passwords.
Here is an example of the syntax you will type. My RAC IP Address is 192.168.1.1, my username is root and my password is calvin. I am changing my password to password.
C:\>racadm -u root -p calvin -r 192.168.1.1 config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 1 password

Hi There,
My requirement is to reset the iDRAC settings on factory defaults or remove the current user ID and password.
the background about the issue is i recently purchased an used PowerEdge R710 Server from one of my clients. i dont have any KBD and monitor attached to the server as of now and i am trying to access the server through iDRAC console.
i was successful to change the iDRAC IP from Server front panel but i am not able to reset the iDRAC Settings on factory defaults even with C:/> racadm racresetcfg command.
this command asks me for existing user id and password.
is there any way to reset the iDRAC config without knowing current user id and password. ?

If you don't know iDRAC username and password, then there is two way where you can reset the password
1: Using iDRAC Configuration Utility
Reboot your server and press Control E button when asked (During End of POST) to enter into iDRAC Configuration utility. Here you will get an option to configure root user password
2: Using Local Racadm
In this method you can run following local racadm command to change the iDRAC root password. To run this command you need to install OMSA on the server operating system or you need to boot the server using Dell Deployment toolkit
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o -i 2 -o cfgUserAdminPassword calvin
As you don't have Keyboard and Monitor connected, I don't think you can try any of these methods. If you have OS installed on the system and have remote access to OS (Remote Desktop or SSH), you can only try second method using OMSA.
You can download OMSA from below location
