I borked the admin@local password on my VCF Operations Fleet Manager, so had to reset it. Found this KB which got me going.
root@vcfops-bpeterson [ /opt/vmware/share/vami ]# ./vami-vlcm-passwd-reset
Enter new password:
Confirm Password:
retrying--- count for get password: 1. Sleeping for 10 seconds
retrying--- count for get password: 2. Sleeping for 10 seconds
retrying--- count for get password: 3. Sleeping for 10 seconds
As you can see, that didn't work. Since I don't have SDDC Manager running in this lab I couldn't use Fleet Management - Passwords to reset it either. Looking around, I found that I needed to run the following before resetting my admin@local password.
touch /var/lib/vrlcm/ENABLE_PWD_RETRIEVALNow back to resetting the admin@local password.
root@vcfops-bpeterson [ /opt/vmware/share/vami ]# ./vami-vlcm-passwd-reset
Enter new password:
Confirm Password:
------------------------------------------------
Updating password for admin@local
password updated sucessfully
Hope this helps!
