ISE 2.1 Node registration user/password issues

[bryantsteve]

  I unregistered a 2 node deployment to correct certificate issues. As I  proceeded to re register the secondary node(SAN)  I receive message that the admin  user/password combination I enter  lacks  priv/credentials to connect to the SAN.  Is this user the same as admin -CLI user on the SAN? How do I recover the user/password so I can login and register the SAN?  I have the 2.1 install disk and am familiar with the system utilities admin password reset but as I have changed the admin account in this manner  but this doesn't seem have any effect. Thanks

Hi

The user admin you use on Web interface to register a node isn't the same as cli admin user.
Using the install disk will reset cli admin user but not GUI admin.
To reset admin GUI, you need to be connected on ISE through SSH and do the following command:
application reset-passwd ise admin

Thanks Franceso for clearing that up for me
