If you need to reset the root password in Fusion Registry we supply a tool with the Registry that can help you do this and which does not require the Registry to be restarted. To perform this you will need:
- A Java VM
- Access to the database that is storing the settings for Fusion Registry
The process consists of 3 steps:
- Run the tool to generate a new password
- Apply the password to the Registry's database
- Ensure the password works
Running the Password Reset Tool
From a Command line run the Registry Resetter tool by issuing the command:
java -jar "password reset.jar"
The tool will respond with:
Please enter a new password, or press enter for a random password to be generated
So either type the new password you would like to use or press enter to have a random password generated. If you typed the new password as abcdefgh the tool will respond with:
your new password is: 'abcdefgh' and your new hash is: $2a$10$ASWui0vUQqbTXncVtijBjuNFB3voHv3mGGb.XsT5OnZ0FTARk.'
This hash now needs to be applied to the database.
Assigning the New Password Hash
The database that stores the settings for the Fusion Registry will contain a table called "registry_root_security". This table has a single row with the username of the root account and the hash for the password. The column "pwd" needs to be updated with the value from the password reset too. By way of example here is SQL to update a MySQL server with the new hash:
UPDATE `registry_root_security` SET pwd = '$2a$10$ASWui0vUQqbTXncVtijBjuNFB3voHv3mGGb.XsT5OnZ0FTARk.';
COMMIT;
Ensure that the Registry Accepts the new Password
Once the table has been updated, the credentials can be used. There is no need to restart the Fusion Registry.
Open a browser window and attempt to log in using the root credentials. If the new password doesn't work, please check the values entered into the table in the previous stage.
If you are still having trouble resetting the password, another technique is to modify the database so that when the Registry is restarted it returns to the Install Page. This process is described here.
