Could anyone please guide me like what is the use of command set expert-password-hash ?
Actually when I used this command I am not able to login via expert password that I set before applying this command.
According to How to reset the Expert mode password in Gaia OS it is used to reset the Expert mode password:
Connect to the CLI on Gaia machine (over SSH or console).
Log in to CLISH as an adminRole user (a user with monitorRole does not have sufficient permissions).
Find the hash of the CLISH password:
HostName:0> show configuration
One line near the end will look similar to this:Set the hash of the CLISH password to be the hash of the Expert mode password
HostName:0> set expert-password-hash <HASH_of_CLISH_PASSWORD>So you don't use it AFTER you have set a password for Expert mode.
follow How to reset Expert password on a Check Point SMB Appliance
if central managed option 3. should be your choice.

Please find the updated command:
Connect to the CLI on Gaia machine (over SSH or console).
Log in to CLISH as an adminRole user (a user with monitorRole does not have sufficient permissions).
Find the hash of the CLISH password:
Site-1> show configuration
One line near the end will look similar to this:
Site-1> set user yash type admin password-hash $1$g9SZB3nC$1EN5xU1xMpPk5YLGGwXYb.
Set the hash of the CLISH password to be the hash of the Expert mode password
Site-1> set expert password-hash $1$g9SZB3nC$1EN5xU1xMpPk5YLGGwXYb.
(in this case: set expert password-hash $1$g9SZB3nC$1EN5xU1xMpPk5YLGGwXYb. )
Save the configuration:
Site-1> save config
Set new Expert mode password:
HostName:0> set expert-password
Save the configuration
Site-1> save config
This worked!!! Thanks bunches!!
Much simpler way to generate the expert password hash: cp_openssl passwd -1
Thanks for the information. ![]()
Is there something similar command on appliance 1490 ?
Hi @PhoneBoy
I have an 1430 appliance running on R77.20 ... tried to reset the expert password with the mentioned command ( with user having admin role) but getting below error --
set expert-password-hash XXXXXXXXXXx
^
Bad parameter starting at 'expert-password-hash XXXXXX
Basically expert-password-hash is not an recognizable command on this appliance , anything else I can try ?
The equivalent command on SMB appliances appears to be set expert password-hash
but thats giving the below error -
"Setting expert password with hash
Expert password already set
Set expert password failed"
I need something to reset expert password 😞
