@Gaurav Vats

You can reset the Ambari admin password by using the below steps.

1. Start your sandbox, ssh using a terminal or the web browser link

2. Run the following commands:

ambari-admin-password-reset

The following text will appear

Please set the password for admin:

Please retype the password for admin:

3. After setting and retyping your new password, type the command:

ambari-agent restart

4. Ambari Admin password should be reset

5. Open Ambari login page. Verify your new password allows you to login as admin user.

UPDATE ambari.users SET user_password='538916f8943ec225d97a9a86a2c6ec0818c1cd400e09e03b660fdaaec4af29ddbb6f2b1033b81b00' WHERE user_name='admin';

I think step 3 should be:

ambari-server restart

There's no need to restart the agent.

Admin Server is restarted automatically after 'ambari-admin-password-reset' command is fired and password is provided to make password change effective so no need of 'ambari-server restart'. I feel step 3 is not mandatory but can be followed.
