However if you somehow don’t remember the password, you can reset the password in CLI via the following mysql command;

#mysql -u root build_db -e "UPDATE USER set password='ok89Nva6qHxytSHsP8AeLg==' where name='super'"

This should reset the password to “juniper123”. You may need to wait for the change to take effect a couple of minutes.

#htpasswd /var/www/maintenance/maintPW maintenance
