Newly installed 7.4.1 (well, upgraded to 7.4.1 from 7.4 install). Somehow the admin password stopped working. Figured I forgot it or didn't write it down correctly - so got in via console and reset it. Works in the CLI for access, but not in the UI. Did I miss a step? I followed the documents exactly. Hence the CLI access working. FMC is Vmware-based and has been rebooted several times.

Staring right at me, wasn't it? Thank you. The sudo usertool.pl command reset it. Apologies for the simple question, but thank you for the help!
