I have a customer who is asking me how to reset the sysadmin, root, and nasadmin passwords on their VNX. The problem is the person who used to manage the VNX is no longer with the company. They did not leave the passwords and the customer cannot get a hold of this person who left.
wow, let's go ahead and blacklist 50% of the knowledge base then. Keep making it harder for customers to support the gear they bought from you, see if they choose EMC again. Reset password is confidential now ? Seriously ?
!!HOT!! Reset Sysadmin Password On VNX
If the sysadmin password is lost or unknown, but you can ssh to the control station and log on as nasadmin, then you can run the following commands to view any additional admin accounts (if any were created).
Default login/password for EMC VNX Unified system is:* login: sysadmin* password: sysadminOr for VNXe:* login: admin* password: Password123#
Connect to VNXe using a browser and logon as admin with default password. The default passwordfor admin account is set to Password123# and for service account is service . After logging inyou will be prompted to reset the default passwords for the admin and service accounts.
Note: This procedure changes the password for both admin and service accounts. If you already know thepassword and want to change:Admin account:Settings > More Configuration.. > Manage Administration > select admin and click on resetpassword.
We have an EMC VNX 5300 and the certificate has expired. I have already researched the instructions for viewing the certificate and regenerating a new one. The steps require accessing the Control Station CLI through the service port on one of the SPs using a specific IP address (128.221.1.250). I have connected with my laptop and am able to use Putty to SSH to the device. I'm prompted for username and try the only account we have "sysadmin", but I get Access Denied. I also notice it states "SSH server : Windows Authentication" which leads me to believe it's wanting a domain account but we don't have that setup on the storage (to my knowledge).
The instructions I have specifically say to use the "root" username. I checked the Global and Local user accounts through Unisphere and only saw the sysadmin account. So I created the "root" account and tried to login with that but the same results.
We've had EMC provide us the documentation and had them assist with the password reset procedure as there were complications along the way. All in all, it took EMC about 8 hours to complete this task under the support agreement.
Note: After the Solutions Integration Service password is changed, it cannot be modified. If the password is lost, you must redeploy the Solutions Integration Service and use the default login ID and password to log in.
So i have a somewhat of a complex question. I am working on a procedure for EMC controller i.e VNX 5200/jtfr-2 chassis. I need to make sure any remote access controller setting and any other data is removed from the unit (ie. ip address domain name any other customer info.) All of the drives have been wiped already. Are there any other setting such as remote access controller web gui that might have client data stored? If so, i was wondering how to access the web gui? It has a reset button on the MGMT port so i am guessing there is some sort to ip address, setting or password that the button resets. I am just looking to reset it resell it so there is not way i would be able to get a service agreement or software for it. My knowledge of EMC equipment is very limited. I only write procedures on how to remove client data and know very little how they work.Thanks in advance.for any help that you might be able to provide.
For both, no need to change passwords here is why:For #1 the password you supply when you register is not saved. It is only needed to authenticate to AD to make sure you have the permission to add the machine (aka cifs svm) to the domain.For #2 the password is refreshed based on the AD policy. You will only need to "reset" the password if someone manually change the "machine password" on the AD without the svm knowing it. On this instance, you will need to run: vserver cifs domain password reset -vserver
On the machine you installed the SMI-S provider, run testsmiprovider and log in using the default credentials. Use your username or password if you have changed them during the installation.

For the added target, create a SMI-S credential using the username vscope and password vscope123 (or the combination you chose). Use port 5988 for HTTP or 5989 for HTTPS.
The CMC command-line interface (CLI) is used to connect to the SEM VM and perform administrative tasks. SolarWinds recommends that you periodically change the password used to access the CMC command-line.
Contact SolarWinds Support for help if you no longer have the CMC password needed to log in to the CMC interface. You can still access the CMC interface without the CMC password by logging into the VM console through the hypervisor and clicking on Advanced Configuration.
Note:After the Solutions Integration Service password is changed, it cannot be modified.If the password is lost, you must redeploy the Solutions Integration Service and use the default login ID and password to log in. 2ff7e9595c
