recover password ssh http gaia admin

[nãbru]

Good afternoon.

Guys, there's a way to recover admin password, I can't log in by ssh, http on gaia.

I don't remember the password.

Would this sk help?

If you can log into SmartConsole (either standalone or distributed management), then this SK will help: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk106490

Hi PhoneBoy,

I've followed the SK, but can't seem to log in still.

Entered commands as below, but when I try to log on to the GW, it still fails.

(R81.20)

Tried -1, -5 and -6

[Expert@XXXX]# cpopenssl passwd -1 XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[Expert@XXXX]# $CPDIR/bin/cprid_util -server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -verbose rexec -rcmd /bin/clish -s -c 'set config-lock on override'
CLICMD0201 Config lock is already turned on.

$CPDIR/bin/cprid_util -server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -verbose rexec -rcmd /bin/clish -s -c 'set user admin password-hash XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'

[Expert@XXXX]#

Suggest getting the TAC involved.

Thanks for the reply PhoneBoy as usual.

I managed to solve the issue in the end and I did remove the post this morning, but seems like it didn't delete properly.

The password I used was too long and that was what caused the problem.  I used a shorter simpler password temporarily to get in, then changed it to a more complex and longer one.

Thank you!

A longer password shouldn’t have made a difference.
In any case, glad you were able to get back in.

Hi,

You lost a login password? 

Of mgmt or firewall?
