Reset BFC UI Admin Password

Reset BFC UI Admin Password

Here’s a script in which you may use to reset the BFC UI admin password. It resets the password to "changeme".

**** Before you go through these steps, ensure the user is not trying to login to the BFC UI with the user 'root', instead of the user 'admin'. Also if they have access to another user, they can login and update the admin account credentials as necessary as each account has admin privilages (verified up to BFC 3.7beta thus far).

To run:

  1. copy script to affected BFC: /home/bfcadmin/
  2. chmod a+x resetadminpw
  3. chown bfcadmin:bfc resetadminpw
  4. su – bfcadmin
  5. ./resetadminpw
  6. exit bfcadmin user privilages by typing 'exit' to return to root user
  7. login to BFC UI with user: admin pw: changeme
  8. Select Users -> admin and update the password as desired.
  9. don't forget new password!
