Reset a Password

After five unsuccessful login attempts, a local user is locked out of the StorCycle solution.

Active Directory user login attempts follow Active Directory policies. To protect the Active Directory server, the Spectra StorCycle solution adds a 1 second delay on the next login attempt for every invalid login attempt.

Use the following instructions to reset the password.

Windows

1.	Sign on to the StorCycle server as a local Administrator.

2.	Open a Command Prompt window.

3.	Change directory to the StorCycle program directory. The default is: C:\Program Files\Spectra Logic Corporation\Spectra StorCycle.

4.	Execute ssc.exe user reset <username> <password>, where the username is for the user requiring a password reset, and password is the new password.

Linux

1.	Log in to the StorCycle server as a user with sudo privileges.

2.	Open a terminal window.

3.	Execute sudo /usr/sbin/ssc user reset <username> <password> where the username is for the user requiring a password reset, and password is the new password.
