Run the following SQL command on the SSC database:

UPDATE fortifyuser
SET password = '{bcrypt}$2a$10$fJ65H/8ihJW40LOI4CAzWuiqp/G.TQs1rzs8RbfiR1avAP9Ty0Tau',
dateFrozen = NULL,
failedLoginAttempts = '0'
WHERE userName = 'admin';

This will reset the admin password back to admin.

Thanks, but still its is not working for me..  I have executed the update statement and verified in database also. I have restarted thetomcat, I tried to login using admin/admin but the url is showing this - <hostname>:8080/ssc/changePassword.jsp#!/

I have verified the log file ssc.log - this is the last line in the log file -

/ssc/j_spring_security_check [WARN] com.fortify.manager.security.CustomLoggerListener - Authentication event AuthenticationFailureCredentialsExpiredEvent: admin; exception: User credentials have expired

Let's also set passwordNeverExpire = 'Y':

UPDATE fortifyuser
SET password = '{bcrypt}$2a$10$fJ65H/8ihJW40LOI4CAzWuiqp/G.TQs1rzs8RbfiR1avAP9Ty0Tau',
dateFrozen = NULL,
failedLoginAttempts = '0',
passwordNeverExpire = 'Y'
WHERE userName = 'admin';

(There should be no need to restart Tomcat.) Try that and let me know how it goes.

From the above screen, How to get the encrypted password of "SET password" filed value.

Passwords are never stored, only the hash value is stored. (Hashing is a one-way function, whereas encryption is two-ways.) In the last few years, SSC uses the bcrypt hashing function to generate the hash. One of the neat features of bcrypt is that it has a built-in salting mechanism, which protects against rainbow table attacks.

If you have the hash value, you can never generate the original string (hence, hashing is one-way). If you wish to test some strings, use the following online tool: https://bcrypt.online/

For example, enter the following under the "Bcrypt Hash Verifier" section:

Plain Text: admin
Hash: $2a$10$fJ65H/8ihJW40LOI4CAzWuiqp/G.TQs1rzs8RbfiR1avAP9Ty0Tau

Then click the "Verify Hash" button.
