Resetting 'admin' password

I've gone and forgotten my 'admin' password. What is the recommended approach to resetting the password (using the default postgres database)? I can't find anything in the documentation – I can't tell if the value in the database is hashed or encrypted.

Subject:  the contrib folder

so I've been adding things to the nagios plugin in the contrib folder, but
the modified plugin isn't making it to the nagios that ambari installs..
I'm thinking you folks built nagios and it's just pulling it down from your
yum repo every time without my additions of course.
So I guess I need to rebuild the nagios rpm to include my changes?

Q: how did you build nagios? (and ganglia for that matter) .. is there an
rpm build script somewhere?

TIA

Re: Resetting 'admin' password

Posted by Mahadev Konar <ma...@hortonworks.com>.

Hi Edwards,
  Here is a procedure to reset the password:

1. Stop Ambari server
2. Log on to ambari server host shell
3. Run 'psql -U ambari-server ambari'
4. Enter password ****  (this password is stored in
/etc/ambari-server/conf/password.dat)
5. In psql:
update ambari.users set
user_password='538916f8943ec225d97a9a86a2c6ec0818c1cd400e09e03b660fdaaec4af29ddbb6f2b1033b81b00'
where user_name='admin'
6. Quit psql
7. Run 'ambari-server restart'

Note: The password used in step 5 is the encrypted form of 'admin'.

thanks
mahadev
