Cisco ISE

Orkhan Hajizada — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 10:22:02 GMT

Hello! I'm trying to log in Cisco ISE, but it says:

"Password is expired. Please reset your admin password."

I tried to log in with ssh, it says:

WARNING: Your password has expired.
You must change your password now and login again!
Changing password for user Admin.
Current password:
Current Password:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

How can I fix it?

- Are you trying to use GUI or CLI ?

"Password is expired. Please reset your admin password." - this is shown on GUI

"WARNING: Your password has expired.

Changing password for user Admin.
Current password:
Current Password:

You will have to boot to the installation media (USB or ISO image) and select the option to reset the password.

Before you reboot, execute "show disks". Just make sure / isn't full. I tried to change a password once and it would not take. It turns out that somehow / was full so I had to make a few tiny bits (a few K for the system backup of the password file) of space for the file to save. It turns out I had plenty of core dumps (ISE v2.2) I could delete in order to space.

Password is expired. Please reset your admin password.

So i reset the both password
