Using the iDRAC Configuration Utility 221
Reset to Default
Use the Reset to Default menu item to reset all of the iDRAC configuration
items to the factory defaults. This may be required, for example, if you have
forgotten the administrative user password or if you want to reconfigure the
iDRAC from the default settings.
NOTE: In the default configuration, the iDRAC networking is disabled. You cannot
reconfigure the iDRAC over the network until you have enabled the iDRAC network
in the iDRAC Configuration Utility.
Press <Enter> to select the item. The following warning message appears:
Resetting to factory defaults will restore remote Non-
Volatile user settings. Continue?
< NO (Cancel) >
< YES (Continue) >
Select YES and press <Enter> to reset the iDRAC to the defaults.

Web interface.
