This article describes an alternative way for resetting the cspadmin password from the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Note: The password can also be reset with the registered e-mail address.

For CSO version 4.1.1, use the following instructions:

1. Log in to one of the central Infra VMs.

2. Authenticate by using the following command:

# source /etc/keystone/keystonerc

3. Use the following command to reset the cspadmin password:

# openstack user set --password '<password>' cspadmin

Snippet

root@centralinfravm:~# openstack user set --password ' <password> ' cspadmin

Password

1. For Password, enter the Keystone Password for admin user obtained from the CSO installer VM:

#./python.sh deploy_manager/utils/decrypt_password.py utility

Note: The new password needs to be set in single quotes; replace <password> with the intended password.

For CSO version 5.1.0, use the following instructions:

1. Log in to the Startup server.

2. Run the following command in the Startup server.

kubectl exec -it -n infra $(kubectl get pods -n infra | grep jkeystone | awk '{print $1}'| head -1) -- bash -c "source /root/openrc && openstack user set --password <new_password> cspadmin"

Snippet

root@startupserver1:~/Contrail_Service_Orchestration_5.1.0# kubectl exec -it -n infra $(kubectl get pods -n infra | grep jkeystone | awk '{print $1}'| head -1) -- bash -c "source /root/openrc && openstack user set --password Junipertest cspadmin"
root@startupserver1:~/Contrail_Service_Orchestration_5.1.0#

Verification: Log in to the Admin portal with the username cspadmin and the new password.

If you encounter any issues, please contact your JTAC Representative.
