How to reset the admin password

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

In 7.0.2 :

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

run as nagios user
/etc/init.d/groundwork stop gwservices
psql -U jboss -h localhost -d jboss-idm -c "
  UPDATE jbid_io_creden 
  SET text = md5('password') 
  WHERE identity_object_id = (SELECT identity_object_id 
                              FROM jbid_io u, jbid_io_creden c 
                              WHERE u.id = c.identity_object_id 
                                AND name = 'username');
"
/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

run as nagios user
/etc/init.d/groundwork stop gwservices
psql -U jboss -h localhost -d jboss-idm -c "
  UPDATE jbid_io_creden 
  SET text = md5('admin') 
  WHERE identity_object_id = (SELECT identity_object_id 
                              FROM jbid_io u, jbid_io_creden c 
                              WHERE u.id = c.identity_object_id 
                                AND name = 'admin');
"
/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 >=6.6.x:

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

run as nagios user
/etc/init.d/groundwork stop gwservices
psql -U jboss -h localhost -d jbossportal -c "
  UPDATE jbp_users
  SET jbp_password=md5('password')
  WHERE jbp_uname='username'
"
/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

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

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

  UPDATE jbp_users
  SET jbp_password=md5('password')
  WHERE jbp_uname='username'

In GroundWork Monitor 5.x:

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
