HDFS Repository was not getting created

PROBLEM STATEMENT: Customer deleted hdfs repository from ranger ui. Tried re-enabling plugin but the repository was getting created. Reinstalled ranger, but still no luck.

There was alert saying - "Ranger Admin Password check"

Text is: This alert is used to ensure that the Ranger Admin password in Ambari is correct.
Response is: User:amb_ranger_admin credentials on Ambari UI are not in sync with Ranger

Doing a test and changing ranger_admin_password to admin in Ambari. Configs->Advanced Restarting Ranger, not prompted but doing so anyway.

Also changed local password on ranger admin host:
[root@ip-172-53-51-18 admin]# passwd amb_ranger_admin
Changing password for user amb_ranger_admin.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

Did restart of HDFS, but now HDFS was not coming up.
