How to reset a forgotten admin password of nss portal

Greetings!

I have misstyped the password of nss portal and unable to login (no email attached for supervisor admin)

How can I reset the Admin password to default

Also in sql database i see the history of changed passwords in encrypted form.

Will it be possible to decrypt it (what encryption level is used (md5 etc.)?)

  • Hi Alexander,

    If you have SMTP set up for email, select the forgotten password and an email will be sent with a new password. If you do not have SMTP set up then select the forgotten password link for admin account to generate a new password, then run the following script. 

    Replace <yourdatabasename> with the name of your NetBackup Self Service database.

    select top 1 right(Body , 56)
    FROM [<yourdatabasename>].[dbo].[EMAILS]
    Where Body like '%new password%' or Subject like '%new password%'
    order by EmailID desc
