Change Password of FirePOWER module in ASA

LJ Gabrillo — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 07:33:59 GMT

Hi Guys,

I cannot seem to find any guide anywhere but how do you change the 'admin' password NOT the registration password for the ASA SFR Module?

Hi LJ,

Hi LJ,

According to the config. guide, this is the procedure for resetting the admin password:

Reset the Password

If you forget the password for the admin user, another user with CLI Configuration permissions can log in and change the password.

If there are no other users with the required permissions, you can reset the admin password from the ASA. The default password differs based on software release; see Defaults for ASA FirePOWER.

Before You Begin

In multiple context mode, perform this procedure in the system execution space.
The password-reset option on the ASA hw-module and sw-module commands does not work with ASA FirePOWER.

Procedure

Reset the module password for the user admin to the default:

session {1 | sfr} do password-reset

Use 1 for a hardware module, sfr for a software module.

Worse case, you have to re-image it again

5516# session sfr do password-reset
Invalid do command password-reset
5516#

I can login to the module with another user but changing the password of admin prompts for existing password.

> configure user password admin
Enter current password:

Module is running 6.6.1.
