Hello RSA Admins,
In this topic we will discuss in details how to reset RSA security analytics Lockbox password, so here we go
Connect to the Log Collector appliance via SSH as the root user.
Change directory to /etc/netwitness/ng/vault/ with the following command: cd /etc/netwitness/ng/vault
Make a new directory to backup the existing lockbox with the following command: mkdir old
Move the existing lockbox files to that directory with the following command: mv -vi lockbox lockbox.FCD lockbox.bak lockbox.bak.FCD old
Log in to the RSA Security Analytics UI and navigate to Administration -> Services
Select the Log Collector Service and click on View -> Config
Click on the Settings tab.
Leave the “Old Lockbox Password” field blank and enter a new password in the “New Lockbox Password” field.
Finally, Apply.
Please note that all stored passwords for the event sources will need to be re-entered after the new lockbox is created. So before do such a procedure, make sure that you got all the needed passwords 😉
