Need to reset Admin password of VCN540-64

Hi, this topic I want to share with you that how to reset the admin password of VCN540.

Issue Description

This is a very rare procedure to be applied after logging in onto the VCN system with the postgres username over SSH in order to reset the Admin password if was lost or forgotten.

The below procedure is used to reset the OMU user password (not the root and also not the IVS client user password) which is Admin with capital "A".

Solution

Please see below a procedure to be applied after logging in onto the system with the postgres username over SSH (username: postgres / password: Change_Me):

1. Type su – root to switch to the root username (default password: Change_Me) 
   

   The below command is used to reset the OMU user password (not the root and also not the IVS client user password) which is Admin with capital "A".
   

2. If logging is successful please type the below command:
   

   su postgres -c "/home/postgres/bin/psql -p 6000 -d omu -c \"update tbl_omu_user_info set passwd='f0923a2988ada0d95570a304ef15671ce8df23683c83e1c5c98db502fc9fccf3', salt='', first_***=1 where user_name='Admin';\""
   

3. If you are not able to login over root, please try the below command (after being logged in with the postgres user):
   

   -c "/home/postgres/bin/psql -p 6000 -d omu -c \"update tbl_omu_user_info set passwd='f0923a2988ada0d95570a304ef15671ce8df23683c83e1c5c98db502fc9fccf3', salt='', first_***=1 where user_name='Admin';\""
   

4. Try to login over Web onto the OMU portal using the Admin username (the hash above corresponds to Change_Me) thus you will need to input this password for the first login – also, the system will forces the administrator to change the password upon first login.
