Hi Abhishek Rao, you can set a new password locally in the BIOS. Boot the server, press F2 and navigate to iDRAC Settings and then User Configuration. If you can not login with a different user to your iDRAC, the only way to reset the password is locally. If you need further help, please reach out to our Support Staff on the Dell Technologies Community at www.dell.com/Community Thank you
Hi JASMIN A K, if you use the iDRAC IP address for your SSH, you will always connect to the iDRAC not your host. If you use the host IP address on your SSH connection it should take you to the ESXi interface if ESXi is configured properly. You can learn more about configuring ESXi on a PowerEdge Server in this article: dell.to/3BjKKXw If you need further help, please contact our support staff on the Dell Community at dell.to/3RgTfIB Thank you.

Hi fadafwet, RACADM command line interface is a feature of the iDRAC of a Dell EMC PowerEdge server and not available on client systems using Windows 8 or 10. For more information you can check the RACADM Guide in the iDRAC Manual: www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/idrac9-lifecycle-controller-v5.x-series/idrac9_5.xx_racadm_pub/introduction?guid=guid-3f6fb670-796a-4724-9d61-ad8a523b7b3e&lang=en-us If you need further help, please reach out to our support staff on the Dell Technologies Community at www.dell.com/support Thank you.
Hello Theo Gd, there is no RACADM command to change the BIOS date. As an alternative you can sync it to the iDRAC, which is on even if the server is powered off as long as AC power is plugged in. You can find more information here: dell.to/3OcBN9s If you need further help, please contact the Dell Support here: dell.to/3IafddP Thank you.
