How do I set the admin password for Ambari in the sandbox-hdp 2.6

[#1]

I'm trying to setup/change the admin user for Ambari in vitrualbox sandbox-hdp 2.6. I've ssh into vitrualbox found no command ambari-admin-password-reser. I've shh'd into the docker from the virualbox ssh -p 2222 root@127.0.0.1 and still no ambari-admin-password-rest ? Am I missing somethig?

Can you please share the output of the following commands?

After doing SSH as following to the host.

ssh -p 2222 root@127.0.0.1

[root@sandbox ~]# hdp-select versions
2.6.0.3-8

[root@sandbox ~]# which ambari-admin-password-reset 
/usr/sbin/ambari-admin-password-reset

.

Also please try the web link to access the terminal just in case above does not work.

http://localhost:4200/

.

hdp-select versions

2.5.0.0-1245

2.6.0.3-8

which ambari-admin-password-reset

/usr/sbin/ambari-admin-password-reset

Ok - that found it - for some reason it was not in the path and find / -name ambari-admin-password-reset did not find it.

Thank you!

just summarized my action to set password of ambari UI

Take putty of the snadbox host - & the default password of sandbox host - root/hadoop. once you are connected shell & then run this command. this reset ambari admin password and also start the required services

ambari-admin-password-reset

open sanbox host via ambari UI with ur password.
