Reset Morpheus admin user web password

yodimas — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:01:15 GMT

Hi,

I have an HPE Morpheus lab and a bit of a problem... I don't remember the password I set for the user during installation. How can I view it—or rather, reset it? I don't have an SMTP server either.

Thanks a lot.

Hello @yodimas
You can’t view the password once it’s set, but you can reset it. Try logging in with the default admin account (admin /Morpheus) if it wasn’t changed. From there, go to Administration → Users and update the user’s password.

If you’re locked out of all administrator accounts and don’t have SMTP configured for password recovery, could you share which Morpheus version you’re running and whether this is a standalone appliance or a clustered deployment? That will help in suggesting the right reset method.

Sanika.

I set it up a few days ago, and I forgot the password I used.

Hi Sanika

Never mind, I'm going to close the ticket; in the end, it was quicker to just delete hpemanager and redeploy it Thanks for your help anyway.

Best regards.
