[gpfsug-discuss] Password to GUI forgotten

[Joshua Kwedar (froz1)]

The GUI password can be changed via command line using chuser.

/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/chuser

Usage is as follows (where userID = admin)

chuser userID {-p <newPassword> | -l <longName> | -a <name_or_id> | -d <name_or_id> | -g <name_or_id> | --expirePassword} [-o <currentPassword>]

However, I was gone pretty much the entire month of November for a combination of vacation and SC17 and the vacation was so relaxing that I’ve forgotten the admin password for the GPFS GUI.  :-(
