This is both a warning and request for solutions.

Dell (and others?) removed admin rights to modify iDRAC via the IPMItool and raw values.

Response when tried: "insufficient privilege level"

Searching for the phrase returns people searching for solutions to the same issue with:
SuperMicro, Tyan, Dell and others (perhaps an IPMI update given to OEMs).

Anyone who knows of a solution or who has ideas would be appreciated.
If I knew which chip had the IPMI ROM, perhaps I could read the .bin
...to either read the admin UN and PW ... upgrade the credentials, etc..?
