change superuser password

[rsteinscs]

Hello,

i want to change the superuser password for our CheckPoint admin user.

we just have a few of clusters with some nodes on each for HA and one Management VM.

we use R81.10

how can i change the superuser password on all Systems safely?

like this? (found here: How to change password of "admin" of SmartConsole? - Check Point CheckMates)

//

a. open ssh session to the machine and login as admin.

b. run the mentioned command: set user admin password - and change the password.

c. after changing password run "save config" and exit ssh session.

That will change both OS and GUI admin password. 

//

or via Gaia Portal on every Node?

is it essential to change the admin password first on all Node-Hosts and then on the Management-VM or backwards (first Management and then on all Node-Hosts)?

thanks a lot

regards

Ronny

Something like this will make this process easier: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/SmartConsole-Extensions/Execute-Commands-Simultaneously-SmartCon...
To use this, you will want to generate a password hash per: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk107558 

I don't believe the order is relevant here.
