Hello, i cant set a new admin password. I try this solution

VMware KB: Resetting the Administrator password in VMware vRealize Operations Manager appliance

And i have this error:

Call failed: Code 500 - HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error

Response: {"error_message_key":"security.password_invalid","error_arguments":[]}

Original admin credentials restored from backup

I try many times wirh many types of passwords.

1. Recommended way to run this command (making sure you are using the correct python version) is:

$VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN $VCOPS_BASE/../vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsSetAdminPassword.py --reset

2. the message security.password_invalid indicates that you are trying to provide a password which is not sufficient to satisfy your password policy. If the policy is not changed something like this should work:

Compli1!cated

Hope it helps!

VROPS:/usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin # $VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN $VCOPS_BASE/../vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsSetAdminPassword.py --reset

Password:

Re-enter Password:

Saved existing admin user credentials into backup file

Removed backup of admin user credentials.

Password set.

Where are you going to change your password at? Also ensure you don't have any of the nodes opened while you're doing this.

Now it works !

I think the problem was not run the script with this $VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN $VCOPS_BASE/.


With the command complete work with the same password that use before


$VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN $VCOPS_BASE/../vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsSetAdminPassword.py --reset


Many thanks !!
