Do you find yourself in the position where you just bought a piece of server kit (new or used) and you do not know what the IPMI password is, and you don't have a OS/screen to reset it, or it's set to some static IP that you don't know?

Please enjoy this small (70MB) image you can put on a USB stick and blindly boot the machine into, assuming the USB boots, it will set the IPMI to a known value, and set the network back to "normal" values (no VLAN and DHCP)

Enjoy! (and report back if you find it worked on things not already confirmed in the readme)
