Reset Configurationadmin account password in vRA 7

How can i reset the password of configurationadmin account?

It's not in the UI, you can submit an API request to handle this:

PUT to https://{{vra-fqdn}}/identity/api/tenants/vsphere.local/principals/username@vsphere.local

{

  "firstName": "Local",

  "lastName": "Admin",

  "emailAddress": "ladmin@corp.local",

  "description": "Local Admin",

  "locked": false,

  "disabled": false,

  "password": {{newPassword}},

  "principalId": {

    "domain": "vsphere.local",

    "name": "localadmin"

  },

  "tenantName": "vsphere.local",

  "name": "Local Admin"

}

If PowerShell is more familiar to you then my response may make things easier for you.

Is there any other way of doing this?

Same issue here. Am sure about the password that was set, however it is not allowing to log in to the console using configurationadmin account.

tried to use the mentioned url.. getting 404-authentication required error in IE.

Any other way to reset the password for this user... ?

Its a fresh install of vRA7.
