Reset the
VMware Aria Operations
Administrator Password from CLI

You must reset the password if the admin account password is lost.
This procedure requires root account credentials.
  • In
    VMware Aria Operations
    vApp deployments, when you log in to the console of the virtual application for the first time, you are forced to set a root password.
  • The
    VMware Aria Operations
    console root password can be different than the admin account password that you set when configuring the
    VMware Aria Operations
    primary node.
When the
VMware Aria Operations
password for the built-in admin account is lost, follow these steps to reset it on vApp clusters.
  1. Log in to the master node command-line console as
    root
    .
  2. Enter the following command, and follow the prompts.
