Restoring or Changing the Administrator GUI Password
You can restore the default administrator password used to log in to the primary
GSSM GUI, or change the administrator password by using the
reset-gui-admin-password
command. The GSS stores the administrator
username and password in a safe partition of the hard disk to prevent loss of data
due to power failures. If you change the administrator password, and then either
lose or forget the password, you can reset the password back to
default
by using
the
reset-gui-admin-password
command on the primary GSSM.
Only users with the administrator privilege can remove or change the
administrator’s GUI password.
The syntax for this command is as follows:
reset-gui-admin-password
[
password
text
]
The optional
password
text
keyword and argument allow you to change the
administrator password used to log in to the primary GSSM GUI. Enter an
unquoted text string of 6 to 16 characters with no spaces.
For example, to change the change the administrator password to
mynewpassword, enter:
gssm1.example.com#
reset-gui-admin-password password
mynewpassword
