GSS GUI admin password reset

I have to reset the GSSM GUI admin password to its default ("system"). I read in the user guide that this can be done from the CLI using the "reset-gui-admin-password" command.

I am looged on the CLI as admin, but I don't have the reset-gui command in the command list !!

Can somebody help me ? I want to avoid a complete restore to factory default...

Thank you

Yves

The admin at CLI and GUI are not the same atleast they differ by passwords.

I could change the admin password on the GUI after I logged in as admin and used the 'user administration' tab.

Th change the CLI admin as below:

GSS-Primary(config)#username admin password system privilege admin

User admin exists, change info? (y/n): y

User admin modified.

GSS Version 1.1(1.3.1)

Thanks for your append. The problem is that I cannot log into the GUI to change the admin password because we lost the password ! I can however log into the CLI via SSH, and from then, the command "resert-gui-admin-password" should allow to reset the GUI password. The problem is that I don't find this command in the command list. We run GSS 1.2.1

Thank you for any help !!
