How to reset the admin password

If you forget the web interface password for the user "admin", you can reset it as follows:

In GroundWork Monitor 6.6.x:

To reset or change the password for users authenticated against the GroundWork jbossportal database, run the following command:

source /usr/local/groundwork/scripts/setenv.sh /etc/init.d/groundwork stop gwservices export PGPASSWORD=jboss psql -U jboss [-h localhost] -d jbossportal -c " UPDATE jbp_users SET jbp_password=md5('password') WHERE jbp_uname='username' " export -n PGPASSWORD /etc/init.d/groundwork start gwservices

Where:

• 'password' is replaced with the password • 'username' is replaced with the user name • 'localhost' is replaced with the database server name (the [-h localhost] part is optional if you are

on the host where the database exists; it is necessary to identify the server if that is on a different server)

Example: Resetting admin's password to: admin

source /usr/local/groundwork/scripts/setenv.sh /etc/init.d/groundwork stop gwservices export PGPASSWORD=jboss psql -U jboss -d jbossportal -c " UPDATE jbp_users SET jbp_password=md5('admin') WHERE jbp_uname='admin' " export -n PGPASSWORD /etc/init.d/groundwork start gwservices

This will not affect the password for other users. It will however log out all users.

In GroundWork Monitor 6.0-6.5:

To reset or change the password for users authenticated against the GroundWork jbossportal database, run the following command:

Where:

• 'password' is replaced with the password • 'username' is replaced with the user name

Example: Resetting admin's password to: admin

source /usr/local/groundwork/scripts/setenv.sh /etc/init.d/groundwork stop gwservices mysql -ujboss -pjboss jbossportal -e " UPDATE jbp_users SET jbp_password=md5('admin') WHERE jbp_uname='admin' " /etc/init.d/groundwork start gwservices

To reset or change the password for users authenticated against the GroundWork guava database, run the following command:

mysql -uguava -pgwrk guava -e " UPDATE guava_users SET password = md5('password'), password_expire = '0000-00-00', password_change = '0' WHERE username = 'username' "

Where:

• 'password' is replaced with the password • 'username' is replaced with the user name

Example: Resetting admin's password to: admin

mysql -uguava -pgwrk guava -e " UPDATE guava_users SET password = md5('admin'), password_expire = '0 000-00-00', password_change = '0' WHERE username = 'admin' "
