Reset View Adapter pairing password

I'm working on doing my vCOPS for View upgrade and I'm up to the point where I need to enter my pairing password with vCOPS except I do not remember it.  Does anyone know how I can reset this password or recreate it?

The error I'm getting is:

Pairing certificates...FAILED (Failed to pair certificates with View Adapter: 0x80004005)
Failed to pair View Broker Agent to View Adater

Found my own answer when I found the upgrade directions (link below).  Basically, I never had setup the pairing password with the broker adapter so I needed to go to the admin page and create the pairing credentials then I was able to proceed.  RTFM.

In my case, my mistake was keying in the IP address of the UI VM instead of the Analytics VM!
