The most important thing is that the root and admin passwords for the EMC ESRS VE virtual appliance are configured during VA deployment and there is no default password.

In EMC ESRS VE version 3.06 or newer you can login to the VM console or through SSH as root and run the following command to reset admin’s password:

login as: root
 
emcsrs001:/opt/esrs/webuimgmt-util # ./opt/esrs/webuimgmt-util/passwordAdmin.sh

For anyone getting the following errors

-bash: ./opt/esrs/webuimgmt-util/passwordAdmin.sh: No such file or directory

or

-bash: passwordAdmin.sh: command not found

Please use the following commands
cd /opt/esrs/webuimgmt-util
bash -x passwordAdmin.sh
