Reset Administrator password in Mcafee Vulnerability Manager

3 02 2011

Sometime back I installed MVA 7 on a test machine, didn’t use it for sometime and forgot the password. There is no option to reinstall, you have to remove it and install again. Nothing found on Mcafee support.  Finally reset it, here’s how:

Selected DB is faultline

1. select * from dbo.Users where Name=’administrator’

2. update dbo.Users set Password=’put encrypted hash here’ where name=’Administrator’

3. you may have to unlock the account: update dbo.Users set lockout=0 where name=’Administrator’

Password hash is SHA512.
