Setting a single BIOS attribute with Set-OneBIOSAttributeRedfish
3.2 Setting an iDRAC password (Set-IdracUserPasswordREDFISH)
The Set-IdracUserPassword Redfish cmdlet changes an iDRAC user’s password and then runs a GET
command by using the new password to verify that the user password was changed. To run the cmdlet, the
iDRAC user ID index number is required with the current user name and password. If required, run GET on
“redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Accounts/” to determine the iDRAC User ID index number for the
user whose password is to be changed.
In the following example, the root user password is changed from calvin to test. The user ID index for the
“root” user is “2”.
