It's documented here:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ips/7-1/configuration/guide/cli/cliguide71/cli_administration.html#82784

The command is:

sw-module module ips password-reset

...or from ADSM menu bar, choose Tools > IPS Password Reset .

You aren't using any special characters in the password are you? If so, please try it without them..

Actually I changed it and can login through CLI but not through ASDM!

Do you mean try to use simple password like cisco?

I will see

Thanks

When you login via cli successfully how are you doing that?

Are you using ssh direct to the IPS address or via "session module ips" command from the ASA cli?

What happens when you try via ASDM?

I reseted the password by this command: session ips console

If you're only able to access the IPS console via the console command then you most likely do not have IP addressing and/or reachability setup correctly. Remember the IPS software module uses the ASA's physical management interface and that must have the correct layer 1-3 connectivity to the rest of the network consistent with the IP address, netmask and gateway configured on the module.
