Chapter 3 Creating and Managing User Accounts
Modifying the Administrator Account Passwords
Restoring or Changing the Administrator’s GUI Password
To restore the default administrator password used to log in to the primary GSSM
GUI, or if you want to change the administrator password, use 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:
reset-gui-admin-password [password text]
The password text option allows you to change the administrator password used
to log in to the primary GSSM GUI. Enter an unquoted text string with no spaces
and a length of 6 to 16 characters.
For example, to change the change the administrator password to
mynewpassword, enter:
gssm1.example.com# reset-gui-admin-password password mynewpassword
