Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) has by default one single user for accessing GUI: admin (default password: ‘default’). Many accounts can be created from GUI and different accounts can have different roles/rights. Besides from that, there is an admin-account in CLI as well. It it important to note that this is NOT the same account even though both usernames are ‘admin’. The CLI admin-password is specified during setup, and the GUI admin-password is changed at first GUI-login.

If you enter an incorrect password for your specified administrator user ID enough times, the Admin portal “locks you out” of the system, adds a log entry in the Server Administrator Logins report, and suspends the credentials for that administrator ID until you have an opportunity to reset the password that is associated with that administrator ID, as described in the “Performing Post-Installation Tasks” chapter of the Cisco Identity Services Engine Hardware Installation Guide.

So, what happens when the admin (or any other) password is lost? In the early versions of ISE 1.0 there was no way to recover the GUI-password but since version 1.04 (see release-notes) there is a CLI-command to reset the password of any GUI user. The command is ‘application reset-passwd ise <username>’:

Now, what if we loose the password for the CLI-admin? Well, there is a solution for that too. First of all we need console access to ISE. If it is a VM we need to get into the Vsphere Client and if it is an appliance we need to walk to the server room and connect a VGA-monitor and keyboard to the box. Second, this cannot be solved without rebooting the box (which of course breaks any services depending upon the ISE-instance). By booting from the installation media (DVD or .iso image). From there, there is an option to reset the CLI admin-user…

Default password policy

Note that there is a default setting in ISE password policy that require the admin-user (GUI-user!) login every now and then and change its password to prevent the account from being locked out. I am curious about why this setting is enabled by default…

I always forget my Cisco Identity Service Engine’s (ISE) command-line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI) password and have Googled many times how to change these two. Resetting the GUI password requires CLI access; therefore, resetting the CLI password comes first if both are inaccessible.

Reset CLI Password

In order to change the CLI password, the password recovery tool in the ISO image needs to be used. There are some necessary steps to launch this tool. Those steps include the following.

  1. Mount ISE ISO file
  2. Change boot option in basic input/output system (BIOS)
  3. Power on VM
  4. Unmount ISO file
  5. Reload

1. Mount ISE ISO file

Reset

Add the CD/DVD Drive by right-clicking the VM and choosing “Edit Settings…”, and select “ADD NEW DEVICE”. I have pre-uploaded the ISE ISO image in the datastore of vCenter Server, and choosing “Datastore ISO file” allows us to select that file.

2. Change boot option in basic input/output system (BIOS)

Enable “Force BIOS setup” in VM Options to change the boot sequence for the VM to boot from the mounted ISO file.

3. Power on VM

After powering on the VM, it will launch system utilities from the ISO. Enter 1 for the following menu.

Enter 1 and change the password of the admin following the prompt.

After changing the admin password, the screen will change back to the system utilities menu. Don’t restart the VM by entering [q] just yet, dismounting the ISO file comes first.

4. Unmount ISO file

Follow the same procedure taken in 1, and unmount the ISO file by removing the CD/DVD drive, or unticking the connected box.

5. Reload

Finally, reload the VM by entering [q] in the system utilities, and login username admin and the new password.

Once gaining access to CLI, execute the below command to change the GUI password.

In my case, the username equals admin.

In addition, the password for ISE GUI admin expires in 45 days by default. For lab environments, this becomes a pain in the neck. Go to Administration > System > Admin Access > Password Policy to change the default password expiration configuration. I have disabled all policies for the ease of labbing.
