IPMICFG
Supermicro provides a tool for you to manage your IPMI settings named IPMICFG. You can download it from the following location.
It contains tools for DOS, Linux, and Windows.
IPMI Tool
If you have Linux installed on that server, you can install OpenIPMI and IPMI Tool to manage the local or remote IPMI service.
To reset the password, all you have to do is as follows.
# service ipmi restart
If IPMI service could not be started, please stop here. You might not have IPMI support in your server.
First, you have to get the user id of the account "ADMIN".
# ipmitool user list
ID Name Callin Link Auth IPMI Msg Channel Priv Limit 2 ADMIN true false false Unknown (0x00)
You might see the output as above with the user id of account "ADMIN" is 2.
Now, you change the password of user with id = 2 to "MATKHAU", for example.
# ipmitool user set password 2 MATKHAU
That's all. Have a nice try!

Thanks,
To do this from windows Server 2012 R2 it's similar as below. Actually did this on an Acer AR380 F1 server which is re-branded supermicro
In a command prompt from the directory the IPMI files are in:
C:\Support\Installs\ipmicfg_1.20.3_20141105\win\64bit>ipmicfg-win -ver
Firmware Version: 1.40
C:\Support\Installs\ipmicfg_1.20.3_20141105\win\64bit>ipmicfg-win -m
IP=10.x.x.xxx
MAC=00:25:xx:xx:xx:xx
C:\Support\Installs\ipmicfg_1.20.3_20141105\win\64bit>ipmicfg-win -user list
Maximum number of Users : 10
Count of currently enabled Users : 2
User ID | User Name | Privilege Level | Enable
------- | ----------- | --------------- | ------
2 | root | Administrator | Yes
C:\Support\Installs\ipmicfg_1.20.3_20141105\win\64bit>ipmicfg-win -user setpwd 2 my_new_password
Done.
Often such problems appear due to incorrect operation of the drivers. If you are faced with this, then you need to update the drivers for your system first, here you will find Download Drivers for Windows http://bitdrivers.com/. This is an excellent resource for such purposes, there you can download the complete set of drivers in a few clicks. If this does not help, then reinstall the operating system and then install the drivers, after disabling the automatic update from Microsoft.
