I have a UCS C series server and its serial console is connected to a KVM switch. I SSH to the KVM switch to access UCS server console to try to get into CIMC utility during server bootup...But I typed CIMC password wrong multiple times and CIMC utility is telling me that I have reached "MAXIMUM tries and reboot to continue"...I do not have anyone onsite to physically reboot it and wondering if there is any special key combination or function key to reboot it remotely?

To answer your question directly, there is unfortunately no way to power reset/cycle or reboot a server via CIMC (or domain FI) via serial console if you are not logged in. If you cannot log in via serial console, SSH or web interface, the only way is to powercycle by removing and adding back the power cables.
To reset the password via KVM, see https://community.cisco.com/t5/unified-computing-system-discussions/cimc-wrong-password/td-p/2544277
