Cannot Recover ACS CLI Password

normanzhang — Fri, 18 Sep 2020 20:35:27 GMT

I am on ACS 5.8.0.32.6, I followed instructions as below for ACS Password Recovery

https://community.cisco.com/t5/security-documents/acs-5-x-cli-password-recovery-procedure/ta-p/3125810

Tried boot both from KVM, and Console. It did take the new password. But after reboot, I still cannot login with new password. I am wondering if password is updated or the admin account is locked permanently.

Is there a way to fix this and recovery admin password?

If I were you I follow the same document to recover, but unfortunately, some specific version has bugs, that one you using.

The below thread will help you to reset password :
