Clearing Lost or Forgotten Password
When the iKVM password is lost or forgotten, you can reset it to the iKVM factory default, and then change the password. You can
reset the password using either the CMC Web interface or RACADM.
To reset a lost or forgotten iKVM password using the CMC Web interface, in the system tree, go to Chassis Overview → iKVM,
click Setup tab, and then click Restore Default Values.
You can change the password from the default using OSCAR. For more information see Setting Password.
To reset a lost or forgotten password using RACADM, open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC, log in, and type:
racadm racresetcfg -m kvm
NOTE: Using the racresetcfg command resets the Front Panel Enable and Dell CMC Console Enable settings, if they
are different from the default values.
For more information about the racresetcfg subcommand, see the Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge M1000e
RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
