Run this script on SSO RSA DB to reset the master password

if SSO password ( admini@system-domain ) needs to be reset, please execute below query on RSA database:

UPDATE

[dbo].[IMS_PRINCIPAL]

SET

[PASSWORD] = '{SSHA256}KGOnPYya2qwhF9w4xK157EZZ/RqIxParohltZWU7h2T/VGjNRA=='

WHERE

LOGINUID = 'admin'

AND

PRINCIPAL_IS_DESCRIPTION = 'Admin';

This will reset the password to "VMware1234!", after which you login and change the password as needed.


Note: Take backup of RSA database before executing this


As described in this thread vCenter Single Sign On master password

Oh ok ,

So according to this previous post, you have 2 options. Re: vCenter Single Sign On master password

1 - Reinstall the SSO component

2- try to reset your Password with a query.

if SSO password ( admini@system-domain ) needs to be reset, please execute below query on RSA database:

UPDATE

[dbo].[IMS_PRINCIPAL]

SET

[PASSWORD] = '{SSHA256}KGOnPYya2qwhF9w4xK157EZZ/RqIxParohltZWU7h2T/VGjNRA=='

WHERE

LOGINUID = 'admin'

AND

PRINCIPAL_IS_DESCRIPTION = 'Admin';
