default username password not working for Hortonworks sandbox 2.3.2 on Azure

[#1]

I deployed a hortonworks sandbox on Azure following the guidelines on .http://hortonworks.com/blog/hortonworks-sandbox-with-hdp-2-3-is-now-available-on-microsoft-azure-gallery/. Then, I followed the guidelines on the sandbox welcome page to open Ambari using http://{Ipaddress}:8080 and got to the Ambari login page. When I tried the default username and password admin/admin, it said the combination is invalid. I also tried the cluster username and password, and it did not work either.

Your help is highly appreciated

You have to use the username/password you specified on the Azure portal while creating the Sandbox

[#4]

I have the same issue. The suggested admin-admin credentials do not work, neither do the ones I provided when creating the sandbox.

[#5]

Actually Neeraj's second comment worked for me. Thanks!

One clarification:

For step 1: use

ssh <username>@<ipaddress>

or

ssh <username>@<hostname>

where <username> is the username you define when creating the sandbox. You will also be prompted to enter the password defined when creating the sandbox.

@Neeraj Sabharwal hi, not sure how to do that

@Michael Mathioudakis You can see accept button under my 1st response.

[#9]

@Neeraj Sabharwal I don't see that - probably because I wasn't the original author of the question?

[#10]

@Michael Mathioudakis Nice catch 🙂 @Vivian Li

[#11 · Accepted solution]

@Vivian Li See this in the link that you shared

1. ssh into the VM and run the following command as the root user:ambari-admin-password-reset

2. You will be prompted to enter the password. Ambari server will restart.

3. Then run command

ambari-agent restart

4. You can then go to the http://<hostname/ipaddress>:8888 which displays the splash page and click on the Ambari url. Enter the user "admin" and put the password you set previouly in step 2. You should now be able to log in as an Ambari admin.

Hi Michael and @Neeraj Sabharwal,

I can indeed ssh using the username & password when I created azure sandbox, but after that what can I do to access the ambari website interface or even change the password of "admin"??? or create new root user for ambari?

The sandbox username & password does not work for ambari login website

Also, whatever command I use in ssh with the sandbox user, it will say "Permission denied"

Please help me!!!!

[#14]

I have tried to change the password, but I am getting error of permission denied. Can some one help as Ambari is not working for me either. Same situation tried all combination of passwords.

FYI ..Michael was able to resolve this. Make sure that there is no typo in your password

Actually Neeraj's second comment worked for me. Thanks!

ssh <username>@<hostname>

where <username> is the username you define when creating the sandbox. You will also be prompted to enter the password defined when creating the sandbox.

I got the error of Permission denied after run cmd:ambari-admin-password-reset. Any idea? The SSH username/password are the username/password my defined when creating the sandbox.

@Vivian Li

Dont you think its related to azure-sandbox-login.pdf

[#18]

Tried user:azure password:azure and even can't login.

Try this one out courtesy of Neeraj

1. ssh into the VM and run the following command as the root user:ambari-admin-password-reset

2. You will be prompted to enter the password. Ambari server will restart.

3. Then run command

ambari-agent restart

4. You can then go to the http://<hostname/ipaddress>:8888 which displays the splash page and click on the Ambari url. Enter the user "admin" and put the password you set previouly in step

5. You should now be able to log in as an Ambari admin.

I got the error of Permission denied after run cmd:ambari-admin-password-reset. The SSH username/password are the username/password my defined when creating the sandbox because user:admin pasword:admin doesn't allow me in.

[#21]

User/Password root/hadoop doesn't work

User/Password admin/admin doesn't work

User/Password azure/azure doesn't work

User/Password my defined when creating the sandbox, works however got permission denied when you run ambari-admin-password-reset.

So any ideas?
