I bought a used ASRock server motherboard online and wanted to use its IPMI feature, but the password had already been changed, so I looked online for a way to reset it.

First, boot into any Windows install and download Supermicro’s IPMICFG tool:

https://www.supermicro.com/SwDownload/SwSelect_Free.aspx?cat=IPMI

ipmicfg -user list

Maximum number of Users          : 10
Count of currently enabled Users : 1
User ID | User Name | Privilege Level | Enable
--------|-----------|-----------------|-------
2       | admin     | Administrator   | Yes

ipmicfg -user setpwd 2 admin

Or reset it to factory defaults:

ipmicfg -fd
