User Name and Password for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1

Tang-Suan Tan

Level 1

Hi all:

 

I am stuck at the login page of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1.

I have tried using the user name root and its password (when log in with root at Vsphere Client) and also the login user name "before" get into the appliance infrastructure, all cannot work.

 

Anybody knows what is the default username or password or any way to set the username and password for this Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 website?

 

Thanks!

Hi Tangsuan,

 

Following is the documented procedure for password recovery..

In order to modify the GUI root user password, you will need to login to the NCS CLI

as an admin user, and enter the command

"ncs password root password <new password>" (without the quotes)


This should set the web interface root user password :

If you have lost your CLI password , try the default logging that is  ,

CLI user is admin and not root, so please try logging in as admin with

the password that was set during setup. If that does not work , you need

the install disk that came with the appliance to recover that password.

Follow these steps:

If you lose or forget the admin password for NCS appliance, follow these steps.

 

Step 1 Reboot the NCS appliance with the ISO DVD inserted. The Cisco Prime Network Control
