  • Are you using root? How do you reset? Using GUI? What's the role for the id?

      Hi Kunjan, Sorry I hadn't made it clear.

       

      Have done the reset using root. And post reset I was able to login to TMSH with the latest password.

       

      The role of the ID is admin.

  • Try using GUI to reset the password. Do note the user id is admin not root.

      Well NO - thats where im facing the problem. THis is how I have done the password reset with root via CLI

      modify auth user Admin prompt-for-password

      changing password for Admin

      new password:

      confirm password:

      Post this I was able to login successfully to TMSH with Admin - Again not to GUI.

      auth user Admin {

      description Admin
      
      encrypted-password XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      
      partition Common
      
      partition-access {
      
          all-partitions {
      
              role admin
          }
      }
      shell bash
      

      }

      Can you login using user id 'admin' in the GUI?
