Like the below it require master password. That is what I forgot it.

• 
  Note: Resetting the password will also unlock the administrator account.

1. Login as an administrator to the vCenter SSO server.
2. Click Start > Run, type cmd, and click OK. The Command Prompt window opens.
3. Navigate to the directory SSOInstallDirectory\utils. By default, the installation directory is C:\ProgramFiles\VMware\Infrastructure\SSOServer\utils.
4. Run this command:
   
   rsautil reset-admin-password
5. Enter the master password when prompted.
   
   Note: This is the password selected for the SSO administrator during the SSO installation. If you have changed your SSO administrator password later, the master password is still the original one chosen.

Follow this.

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
