Hi,
I have just installed GVM in my kali linux laptop. But I have lost my admin password. I have tried to reset password by using following command.
gvmd --user=admin --new-password=new_password
But it is not taken. Showing “Failed to login” message. Please advice me.
Regards,
Saurabh Pal
Hi,
could you try the following
sudo -u _gvm gvmd --user=admin --new-password='new_password'
?
If your password contains special characters like $ it must be marked as a literal string for the shell via putting it within single quotes '.
Yes. It was. I have used special characters.
