Hi Team,

Just wanted to know by Resetting the admin Password of SFR Module on Cisco ASA 5525-X with command "session sfr do password-reset" will break the registration between SFR and FMC?

Do we need re-register the SFR module with FMC?

My previous company colleague confirmed that it is not required. do you have any reference document stating that this will break SFR and FMC communication and re-registration is required?

@balaji.bandi that's not my understanding.

The FMC registration shared key is contained in the sftunnel.conf file on the managed device. That file is not affected by the local admin user password being changed or reset.

Resetting the Admin password will not unregister the FTD from the FMC.
